What was the justification for the geometric progression? I made no such assumption in my "proof". As explained multiple times and in the quote you made, expansion is uniform and happens at every point in space. What bothers me about your method is that you* assume* a geometric increase in the separation distance, when, IMO, that's the variable that must be calculated (which I did). So no matter how many times you affirm your proof as valid, I can't agree. AG You didn't calculate the expansion parameter, which is the Hubble constant. It's an observed value. Brent Why must I do that, when I just want to show that eventually the recessional velocity exceeds c? Also, I don't see why theta is fixed, when the end of the arc defines the position of the receding galaxy. AG How do you think you're going to show that a velocity exceeds c without having a variable with the dimensions of velocity? If you don't see why theta is fixed you don't even understand the problem. Brent I *calculated* ds/dt which, last I heard, is velocity. I must calculate an acceleration which is positive to show velocity eventually gets > c. Hubble's law confirms that the solution just involves geometry, it doesn't prove it. As for theta, I told you why it isn't constant. I don't recall any rebuttal from you; just your claim.
