Beyond all the political hypocrisy this is an interesting topic. The galaxies they’re finding are over 85 billion light years away. But if the galaxy is only 13 billion years old then how are we seeing them? Something’s wrong with the Math here if these galaxies are travelling faster than the speed of light. It could be evidence of a ‘transparent’ or ‘dark’ matter around which the filaments of galaxies are forming. This would be an interesting paradox to resolve. What if it were possible to tap into that energy. If there’s something that already is, would we know about it?
If we assume a Big Bang explosion that is hurtling mass in all spherical directions from a central point, then the furthest distance between two points would be along the diameter from one edge to the other. Every point in the universe would be on a diameter that goes through it.
If we were on, say, the "east" side of the diameter in the middle of that radius traveling west, as we approach the furthest points closest to the "edge" of the galaxy the entire mass of the galaxy would be behind us exerting its gravitational pull. There would be less and less mass ahead of us to counteract the gravitational pull from behind.
How would light react to the gravitational pull of the entire universe in one direction, with little gravitational pull coming from the other direction? How would this look to us through our telescopes from our stationary point of view along the other end of that diameter?
