OK & thanks for the correction.

Can it be put forward in the following way? The speed of light is the cosmic speed limit only relative to the inertial frames of reference moving at constant velocities.But as the universe is not an inertial frame of reference,distant parts of universe can travel faster than light relative to...

I know that space itself is expanding but can't figure out how the speed of expansion is superluminal..

Still confused.Will you explain a little bit in the context of theory of relativity please...

According to the theory of relativity the speed of light is the cosmic speed limit which means(I think) nothing can go faster than the speed of light.Then how universe can expand faster than light itself?

8 New Are you saying that Gluon is a virtual particle?

How can Gluon travel at speed of light when it is bound inside a proton or neutron?

I know STR is based on two postulates viz. 1.All laws of physics are equally valid in all inertial frames of reference i.e There is no such experiment one can perform to know whether he is moving or not if he is in an inertial frame of reference. 2.The speed of light is constant(3*10^8 m/s...

Would you please give me the list of books thatt gave you layman's intro to relativity?After reading The Dancing WuLi Masters & Q.E.D:The strange theory of light and matter,I need a book on relativity with nontechnical aspect...

1.Is electric current a microscopic or macroscopic quantity?I think it is macroscopic as we can feel it,but when I asked my friend he said it is microscopic as it deals with electrons.I'm a bit confused... 2.What is the speed of electricity?Is it equal to the drift velocity of electrons or the...

Thanks Mr.Bill for your suggestion.I'll read Feynman's book...

Thanks! I found it very helpful...

What do you think about the book "The Dancing WuLi Masters" by Gary Zukav? I got this book from library and found it very interesting due to the simple illustrations(which I think is very good for a layman like me),but when I googled it I found some criticisms by the physicists regarding this...
