And the universe is 13.8 Billion years old. And began from a singularity, and some things are 24 billion light years apart. That alone tells you that yes, speed of light can be exceeded.
There are some very weak points in this article.
I’m not even going to pretend I understand this, but I have a question. If two things left the point of the singularity in opposite directions traveling at the speed of light for 13.8 billion years, wouldn’t they now be 27.6 billion light years apart?
This is confirmed by observations since the 1990s of Type Ia supernovae compared to their observed redshifts. The ratio of the redshift to the brightness of the exploding star is not constant, but rather stars that are farther away seem to have much higher redshifts, indicating acceleration.
The end result will be the Big Rip.
DE and the Inflation Theory are two different theories. Inflation Theory is still speculative with no real observational confirmation (other than the large-scale anisotropy for which it was invented to explain in the first place).
If I’m not mistaken, that 24 billion light years distance between two objects would be the sum total of their movement away from each other. That means they each moved, assuming both are moving at the speed they were since time began, 12 billion light years in those 13.8 billion years of time.
That alone tells you that yes, speed of light can be exceeded.
Not necessarily. Scientists haven't proven that matter can exceed the speed of light.
Two things, either the original premise that the universe is 13 billion years old is wrong or there is more to the universe that scientists haven't taken into consideration.
The 500-year-old redwood in the painting that was painted in January is not 500 years old. It’s not even a tree.
