Quote: : galaxies however are acceleratingCorrect but that really has nothing to do with Special Relativity and space expanding does not violate anything regardless of it's speed.

Quote: : if moving in the same directionThe Milky Way is not moving over light speed. It is really not difficult to figure that out.
So as I sit here typing this out I must be moving at beyond light speed too
Quote: : inYes, you are moving at 66600 MPH relative to the sun.
the same way that I am also moving at 67 000 mph as that is the rotational axis
speed of Earth
Quote:: if this reasoning however is not logical then where exactly is the flawThe idiotic assertion that the Milky Way is receding at above light speed as it's cosmological redshift has never been measured and can't be measured unless one is outside the galaxy. FYI, the further out galaxies are the faster they are moving. Anyway, if you were in one of those fast moving galaxies, the answer is no. You would not be exceeding the speed of light.

which give the impression that time slows or speeds up according to your relative velocity : it doesn t
The woo is strong with this one...
edit: Galaxies are not accelerating. It's space that is expanding. Kinda surprised you missed that, actually, judging from your post, I bet it was intentional.
