No Superluminal Expansion of the Universe
Don N. Page
TL;DR
The paper explains that the observed superluminal expansion of the universe is a relativistic effect of time dilation, not actual faster-than-light movement.
Contribution
It clarifies the misconception that universe expansion exceeds light speed by attributing it to special relativity effects.
Findings
Superluminal expansion is due to relativistic time dilation.
No actual faster-than-light movement occurs in universe expansion.
The apparent superluminal growth is a relativistic illusion.
Abstract
The apparent superluminal growth in the size of a sufficiently large part of the universe can be ascribed to the special relativistic effect of time dilation.
