josh1943 - Isaiah 40:22 states the God is stretching out the heavens as a fine gauze. It should come as no surprise, therefore, if tthis stetching out has been and may be again faster than light.<br /><br />In fact, inflation theories do posit that faster than light expansion occurred early on - including the model you quote.<br /><br />There have also been recent discoveries indicating this expansion is accelerating once again to faster than light speed.<br /><br />A key to understanding how this is possible without disobeying the laws governing our universe (God does not disobey the laws he created) - you need to understand the difference between speed on (in) the fabric of space compared with the actual expansion of the fabric of space.<br /><br />Apparently, the speed limit on the fabric of space is constant (although some scientists postulate it may not be quite exactly constant, and this is the speed of light: called c - as in e=mc^2.<br /><br />However, we (scientists included) do not know what the speed limit of the expansion of the fabric of space is - but it seems to be way faster than light speed - if there is any speed limit at all.<br /><br />That is why some of our universe is beyond our visibility horizon (= our light cone). If no part of our universe ever expanded faster than light (past, present, future), then all of our universe would be within our visibility horizon - but apparently it is not.
