can /sci/ please explain me how we can see back to the beginning of the universe? I'm like, nigga, the beginning of the universe is not some distant place, we ourselves originated there and extended outwards, so the light from that point was obvious moving faster than us to the fringes of the universe, light moves fastest, right??? So light from beginning of universe would have already left the universe! So what are we really looking at? Holograms, that's wut. Niggga.

spacetime is expanding faster than light

We are very far from the origin of the Universe and the light from there from a long time ago is only getting to us now because of comsic bullshit. Think about how we only see a star explode long after it happens.
>>8735364
then it must be slowing or how could light reach us?
>>8735364
If this is actually true, I'd love to see the proof.

Space is expanding at 68 km/s per megaparsec.
Light travels at 299792 km/s.
299792 / 68 = 4409
Any distance between us and a point 4409 megaparsecs away is increasing faster than the speed of light.
Values have been rounded for simplicity sake.

>So light from beginning of universe would have already left the universe!
The inflation happened faster than light

Experiment: L.U.C.I.F.E.R.
Something inside a system cannot be heard unless it is observed from the outside.
Then scientists discovered reverb.
We now know the "sound" of Gravity.
>>8735474
The light that left long ago is no longer in a region moving away that fast. We also have proof of this because light from distant objects is heavily redshifted(the relativistic equivalent of having less relative velocity, in their case less momentum)
