The further from Earth they are, the faster they are moving away from us, so if they are far enough away they will be moving faster than the speed of light away from us. * *> You're assuming the universe today is infinite,* > *NO! I said IF the entire universe is infinite today then it was always infinite, and IF it was finite 10^-35 seconds after the Big Bang then it's still finite today. I also said nobody knows if the entire universe is infinite or finite. * > *>* *Hubble's law applies to the past, not to the future,* > *What the hell?! * * John* K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> hwt > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
