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.

Obviously, if the universe is infinite today, it was always infinite. But that's what I am questioning. For galaxies to fall out of view, they have to moving at greater than c. Now they aren't receding that fast. How will they start moving that fast? You're applying Hubble's law without thinking what it says. Just because a galaxy is now receding at less than c, how will continued expansion increase that speed to greater than c? AG * The farther they are the faster they are receding from you, so as they continue to get farther away they receed faster from you till the point they receed faster than c and go out of your horizon. Quentin *That's your claim, but, like I wrote, if say, the rate of expansion is fixed, the separation distance isn't increasing faster than c. It's just increasing. AG * Just take the balloon example, it's a perfect explanation, any two points receed faster from each other as the balloon inflates. *If the rate of expansion is fixed, the distance along some equator containing two separated galaxies increases linearly as a function of the radial distance, s. So I don't see what you claim your model proves.
