You mean the higher speeds of the galaxies farthest from the earth?
I don’t think that would be a problem if we consider that they are probably not moving “through” fields.
Personally, I think the Lorentz “c” speed limit applies only to matter moving through strong fields, such as here at the surface of the earth. But if the distant galaxies and groups of galaxies are not moving through any other galaxies’ gravity fields, then the “c” limit might not apply at all. |
I didn't mean matter moving. I was talking about the slow speed of light, the light we see, distorting the view of an explosion type expansion and making it distinguishable from an expansion of space. So far I didn't handle light cones and whatever to determine how exactly it would distort it. It only works so good on paper if light was infinitely fast.
The other problem is still that the probability of any mass gaining impulse i in the initial explosion has to be (C*i)^2 (C being some constant) to result in the distribution of matter that we see. And the initial acceleration has to be able to go past c, I suppose, unless we would be close to the center.
