  • To understand how the universe can expand faster than light, we need to understand how causality works in Einstein's general relativity.

      It's like, if I'm riding a purple polkadot dragon at the speed of light... And a yellow submarine passes me at the speed of light... That is 🚫NOT🚫 2x the speed of light. That's like, relative to the yellow submarine my purple polkadot dragon is standing still.
      If two events are not causally connected they can be moving at more than the speed of light away from each other. The shape of the 3d space, that guides the dragons and submarines, is kind of hard to wrap brains around so we use 2d representations. Curves... Like two dips on a graph moving in opposite directions from one another at the speed of light. At the top of each dip is some sphere. Each is released at the same time and rolls to the bottom of their respective dip. Relative to each other, the objects moved faster than light, right? In that case, it doesn't matter. No information is being exchanged. They do not move faster than light in their local system, the dips.

      They are misunderstanding the relationship between time and light and space. The galaxies are not moving. The space between them is expanding exponentially. Time, light and matter are actually waves reacting to the expansion of nothing.
      Nothing observable moves everything that is. That is all we can see now.

    I have an analogy which helps me wrap my head around the idea of the expanding universe: I think of it as a raisin bread, or rather, the dough before it's baked. While the dough is rising, the raisins contained within the dough move further apart from each other as a result of the dough expanding, but they don't move with respect to the immediate surroundings.

      I disagree. I see numbers just as magnitude. I see things like -5 , i i^z as a magintude and some extra information we are giving to a function.
      example
      -5 magnitude is 5 and the info (whenever this object encounters a + or - sign use the opposite sign. )
      5i == magnitude is 5 and whenever this object is squared give it a negative sign.
      of course we can just define any number. Raising i to any power is just dependent on how we define raising power of i.
      But i don't think we should call them numbers. I see math just as logical operations they are objects we use to represent logic.
      I don't think of them as numbers. I just see positive rational numbers as numbers.
      Otherwise why aren't vectors numbers.
      Because every argument we can use for imaginary number can also be used for vectors

But that's not the issue. The issue is that calling them "imaginary" is silly because because it implies they're somehow less "real" than other numbers. It'd be just as silly to call them "imaginary vectors". But we're stuck with the term for historical reasons.

    This makes a lot of sense because you can only see light that is within the expansion limits. Once photons get beyond a certain distance the expansion of the universe is happening faster than light so no information can be seen. The expansion of the universe itself limits what we can see with our telescopes.

      @@ScienceAsylum But there is another phenomena that counters this for real in the Quantum realm.
      While quantum mechanics has the uncertainty principle. All matter since the big bang has been in superposition with itself, as matter spread out across the expanding universe each particle was reacting to this superposition instantaneously. Even beyond the photon exchange barrier.
      e.g. Tachyon being a single particle infinite velocity that makes everything. Others say lots of fields vibrating "Strings", some new guys say its Axions or a lower plank length reality.
      The randomness of quantum mechanics is more like the recursion of ripples of fields permeating. Each deterministic, but their interference, is random at the smallest levels.
      Determinism (Macro reality) is somewhat weird because "this information" cannot translate into the "lower energy" realm we exist in.

      Lol sometimes I get that feeling too but I've increasingly realized that all of physics (and math too) can basically be reduced to two things: entities/objects and their interactions. That's basically it. Seen that way, the universe is just a set of physical objects interacting with each other. The speed of light, or rather, the speed of causality, just happens to be one of the rules of interaction: no objects shall interact with each other faster than c. Galaxies can travel FTL because they're not interacting with each other, but rather with spacetime. But then again, spacetime too can be considered an entity, which should forbid this.....but perhaps we got the rule wrong. Spacetime is a different kind of entity and can interact with the other kinds (matter/energy) at any speeds? But matter/energy can only interact with itself at c. Damn, I see your point 😂
