How is this possible?

That was my point.
A laser dot moving across the moon is not s thing, just as well as dot of the electron day of an (classic cathode ray) oscilloscope.

C is NOT the fastest speed possible!!!!!
No object/ thing with resting mass can exceed c.
Effects can propagate with speeds in excess of c

No experimental evidence for tachyons; they are purely hypothetical.  If they exist, they might be traveling backwards in time.

Actually, the universe can spread faster than the speed of light, like during inflation.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

RE: How is this possible?
It seems as though I broke a rule by adding links to the information that I had a question about...................as the admin removed them......................but as a refresher..................


according to scientific measurements and theory:

universe size is 93 billion light years across

universe is 13.7 billion years old


question was:  how is this possible?

context:  When the big bang happened, all things came into existence........if the universe is only 13.7 billions years old, then how can it be the size of something that takes light 93 billion years to cross?  Is it that space expands faster than light?  Or could it be that light started long after the universe was started?

Our Universe continues to expand. The oldest light is around 13.5 billion years old; the place that light originated is now 93 billion light years away.

So according to Einstein, mass cannot exceed the speed of light.  This has been proven through experiment time and time again, most notably in the LHC.  So it seems as though, the scientific theory is that light did not occur during the big bang, but started long after, being that things just had not got to a point to emit light?  Seem reasonable.

RE: How is this possible?
I have seen that video, but it has many contradictory ideas that are far too theoretical to be used as reference, in my opinion.  However the point is still there.  The distance of the total size of the universe has been up to debate by others.  Please see the link as to its 93 billion lyo.

To admin, this is a link, similar to the video that Fake Messiah posted to this thread.......not sure that it is against the rules or not.
