understood so c is constant and unchangeable regardless of matter distribution okay i think i have it now.

so escape velocity for light from black holes in various galaxies differ? and the speed of light is dependant on local conditions of a galaxy and it's curvature of space time ?

thanks that makes the picture clearer for me, appreciated

it's hard to get your head around the physics of it. so only light/Electromagnetic radiation can traverse the expansion, and how localised is the expansion? is the space between every object expanding and if not why not?

so expansion is not movement? and are the ants accelerating independently of the expansion ?

does that mean beyonds lights ability to reach them and is that an issue concerning distance ? and is the expansion of space at the velocity >light ? and does that mean we are static on a balloon surface that is expanding? i am confused !

I have as advised done some catching up on basic cosmology, looking at various discussion and lectures on the nature of the universe. Something that has always played on my mind, is that i remember reading and watching a documentary about the potential to achieve the velocity of light. It was...

sorry i meant to slow the expansion and counter the eventual entropy, my knowledge is from a bookcase of various books on physics and Astrophysics from penrose, hawkins, feynman, greene mostly covering quantum mechanics, relativity and special relativity cosmology is an area that is beginning...

does this allow gravity to counter the inertia or are we expanding to a cold none reactive universe?

so if the galaxies formed after inflation and inflation has ceased, i understand hence the question as to what is currently driving the galaxies away from us.

"The only "thing" in the universe was the field driving inflation; that was what was "expanding" (but working out what that term actually means in this context is somewhat complicated since the field is not an "object" " peterdonis mentioned this i assumed he was talking about the higgs field ?

is this to say that the galaxies formed statically in the field and they are moving relative to the fields expansion?

will do thanks for your time guys, i have a lot to think about kind regards to you all

so the singularity to inflation describing space being simultaneously created during expansion is not correct?, are all galaxies moving away at the same rate?

is this describing that the space in between the galaxies is expanding? as oppose to the galaxies moving away?
