Ok, so, I have a serious question.
Light is not infinitely fast, and it is the universe's speed limit.
Things that have mass cannot travel at the speed of light.
There are galaxies and objects over 93 billion light years away.
But the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years.
Even if Star A was travelling at the opposite direction of Star B, and even if it was traveling at the impossibly-fast speed of light, it could only be that the two stars are 26.6 billion light years apart.
But we see objects 93 billion light years away.
Please try to reconcile these two facts.
🤔
Misplaced decimal point?
That was incredibly rational and succinct. I think you've hit it.
The light we see now was emitted before they were that far away.
I have noticed this phenomenon. Time isn’t expanding- we are slowing down… At least I know I am…
Well, that one is easier to explain. Spacetime itself is warped by gravity. The light, still massless, is changed in direction by that warping.
And lasers travel at the speed of light!
This is my belief only--I have no proof nor evidence that I am correct:
I believe that God set up the laws of physics after Creation in order to allow everything to run kinda automatically.
Why thank you. Just a guess. God in His infinite wisdom is so far ahead of us in our understanding of how His universe works that it’s not even funny.
I think you've hit it.
That’s more of Laz’s wheelhouse.
I suspect God can hit it better than me.
What is the difference between "the universe" and "all of space?"
I’m just impressed with how simply you phrased it. It makes perfect sense and is not wordy or complicated.
My PERSONAL knowledge only goes back to the late 1940s. Anything earlier than that requires a certain degree of faith on my part. So, suppose God created everything in say, 1890 and just made it look older than that. Nobody who is alive can PERSONALLY testify that they saw anything happening before then.
So, who are we to say that the universe is only 28 or 38 or 280000 years across. We can’t put the Creator in a box, no matter how large we make it.
My God is infinitely larger, wiser, older than any of these human-sized metrics.
That’s what she said. -Joseph
so then...the musketeers DID have it right when proclaiming “ALL for one and one for ALL “, a simpler way to say “I am entanglement and everything is one all at the same time”. I am now comforted in the one thought that one thought in a endless stream of thoughts are one
Science says the speed of light cannot be exceeded..at least that’s what I understand.
Do we have an example where the speed of light is in fact exceeded.....even by someone with “mass”.
Hint: Jesus after his resurrection told Mary, do not touch me for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Then later he told the doubting Thomas to go ahead and touch him.
Clearly, Christ went to heaven and came back. But why? The Bible does not tell us. In her book Desire of Ages, Ellen White gives me the most plausible explanation I have ever heard about this event.
Christ would not accept the adoration of anyone until he was assured the Father had accepted his sacrifice. She describes the reception he received as he entered the gates ......The Father and the Son, and the Father accepts his full atonement for the sins of the world.
That is why she can say.......It’s as much what the Father thought of his son as what he thinks of us. His son and the few pints of his blood was sufficient to cover all the sins committed by all the world since the beginning.
Then Christ returns to earth to complete his brief stay before going back to heaven to begin his high priest duties.
Clearly, he surpassed the speed of light. He does things at the speed of thought. What a God!
HA! I love a “That’s what SHE said” joke!
The solution is simply; pay the damn fune.
“The light, still massless, is changed in direction by that warping.”
But is it truly massless? What can we measure photons against to know for sure?

The solution is simply; Pay the damn fine!
