Thanks Lino, actually, for me it made perfect sense and Drakkith expanded your idea further with more detail :D Yes, the answers helped a lot...

The video used the ball bearings to demonstrate that matter was not uniformly spread across the universe and how lucky we were that it wasn't in as much had it been, then galaxies etc would not have formed and we would not have existed. I did not correspond the two as being the same but agree...

Thank you. Apologies for not understanding the difference between inflation and expansion. Your explanation defines it far better than I did and I will revise my statement: I also understand now that the laws of Inflation do not correspond to the laws that govern travel through space.

So, is current thinking, using the ball bearing / observable universe analogy to say that the matter expanded from each single ball bearing and not that the ball bearings all started from a single point?

From your original explanation, I understood that Expansion did not follow the rules that the current universe, in respect of c being the speed limit. For me, this makes sense if I understand that as Expansion is not limited by c, as it is not moving through space, then is clearly cannot be...

Thanks all for the replies. I think I have understood my error in understanding now - in as much as the space expands rather than the mass moving. Whilst that makes sense the concept that something can get further apart without actually moving is a bit of a mind bender. It seems that the...
