Somewhat related but I believe there is some discussion that non observable parts of the universe (i.e. Really far away) may behave differently. Unfortunately these outer/early edges are going faster than the speed of light (I think) so we will probably never know.
- dpark 9y agoAny such discussion is entirely in the realm of not science. Non-observable means not falsifiable means not science. Saying the non-observable universe is going faster than the speed of light is like saying God’s beard is orange.
- agentgt 9y agoOk briefly observable but not anymore and never will be. And galaxies can move faster than the speed of light: https://m.phys.org/news/2015-10-galaxies-faster.html https://m.phys.org/news/2015-10-galaxies-faster.html I was going to correct that technicality on observable but was on mobile earlier. Also you can absolutely have a theory that explains the observable universe reliably (i.e. Verifiable) but at the same time makes suggestions about the unobservable universe (for example most cosmos theories say the actual universe is bigger than the observable). We just don't have the technology or time to observe it yet.
- dpark 9y agoYour link clarifies the statement. Space is expanding. Galaxies aren't actually moving FTL.
- agentgt 9y agoYes I meant we can't see or go there because it's expanding / moving faster than we can get there (light).... I'm still not sure if I'm completely wrong or just misunderstood (given the downvote).
