What evidence is there that an infinity doesn't exist? For example, take a number line. Just a small section of the positive side between numbers one and two. How many points are there between them?

Wrong.
Quote: : galaxies however are accelerating
from each other beyond that speed : this does not violate Relativity
Correct but that really has nothing to do with Special Relativity and space expanding does not violate anything regardless of it's speed.
Quote:but since we are part of one such galaxy
The redshift of the milky Way was measured? How? By whom? When? How did we travel outside the galaxy in order to measure it?
Quote:it follows that any movement
within it must also be beyond light speed
If the Milky Way was moving above light speed but it isn't
Quote: : if moving in the same direction
So as I sit here typing this out I must be moving at beyond light speed too
The Milky Way is not moving over light speed. It is really not difficult to figure that out.
Quote: : in
the same way that I am also moving at 67 000 mph as that is the rotational axis
speed of Earth
Yes, you are moving at 66600 MPH relative to the sun.
Quote:: if this reasoning however is not logical then where exactly is the flaw
The 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.

Quote:If only four elementary particles are needed to create a Universe what purpose do the rest serve
You have Quarks, Leptons, Gauge Bosons and the soon to be found Higgs Boson. What other elementary particles do you have in mind and what are they?
Quote: A good example is Special Relativity, accounts of
which give the impression that time slows or speeds up according to your relative velocity : it doesn t
Time is effected by speed as well as gravity.

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.
