The visible universe is more than 1 light year large (to put it mildly). Moving more than 1 light year in less time than 1 year would put a damper on every scientist who claims day in and day out that you can't accelerate mass faster than the Speed of Light.

*sigh*

I'll post it again - Space is expanding, but the objects (mass) in space do not move.

"I'll post it again - Space is expanding, but the objects (mass) in space do not move."

That's the theory, but it doesn't align with reality. First, all of the mass in the universe won't fit into space the size of a marble. Second, all of the mass in that small of a space would have a gravity so large as to preclude any expansion or inflation. Third, all that theory is really doing is trying to explain away "why" matter in large clumps (read: planets and stars from each other) is currently getting farther apart...while ignoring that matter in large clumps per se is staying the same size (e.g. the Earth isn't expanding).

The current "big bang inflation" theories all want to pretend, in other words, that the space between planets and stars is expanding...while the space between atoms in planets (e.g. our Earth) is remaining the same size (otherwise the Earth would be growing).

Which is to say, the theory is hooey.

Good luck. That same question has been asked five times so far. Let's hope this thread dies soon. ;-)
