maddog Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Some of the the logic here is reversed I think. Tormod had it correct about that "Hyperinflation"occured within the first few micro-increments of time after the big bang and that periodwas as though it was superluminal. This would violate any Special Relativity in that anyframe was relative to the space you were in. The first instant after the Big Bang wasalso when space and time themselves were created. However, I read an article in the current issue of Scientific American determining Galactic Size. The article basically saidthat early on in the universe (say first half billion years) Galaxies were bigger and closertogether. As the age the universe has progressed production of galaxies are more numerous now of the dwarf variety and not bigger ones like ours or Andromeda. Thisis (possibly because of the effect of dark matter | or dark energy) that space itself is stillexpanding faster than light. It is kind of a resurrection of the Omega constant thatEinstein created to offset Hubble expansion. Personally, I would read the article and thenform whatever opinions you wish.

infamous Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Bo; Has anyone calculated the velocity of this inflationary expansion. If C=2.99792458E10cm/sec. at what speed above that of light would be looking at. Just wondering, would it be by a factor of 10 or even more than that?
