I have read and re-read with great interests all the posts that have been spawned from my original post (some of which are now getting way off-topic). None of this, however, has answered my original question. CMB, expansion rates, etc., are all extrememly interesting, but I think I...

So, back to my original question. How is it then that we can see light now that occurred when the expansion of the universe began ~14 billion years ago. Or why can we see light from objects 10 billion light years away? What is it about the rate of expansion, the speed of light and all the...

Marcus' answer comes very close (for me) to answering the question, i.e., the universe is expanding faster than c. If this is true, whey do we see any light. Everyting is moving apart from each other at > 1c. ----------------------------------------------------- Here is a new answer from my...
