The universe is supposedly expanding and that expansion is increasing to the point where the expansion is faster than the speed of light. As there are no preferential frames of reference, we must be travelling at the speed of light.This is obviously wrong...
You have again and again decided to ignore the entire field of cosmology and focus instead on a cartoonish description of cosmological redshift. Why should anyone care at all that you have yet another inane argument about cosmology?QuoteThe universe is supposedly expanding and that expansion is increasing to the point where the expansion is faster than the speed of light. As there are no preferential frames of reference, we must be travelling at the speed of light.This is obviously wrong...You have given us no reason to suppose that it is obviously wrong that we are traveling at the speed of light, none whatsoever.If you can give us a reason, then please do so.[/color]
Would you like to show quantity of redshift of photons from farthest stars please?

Significant enough to ensure the universe is not expanding as fast as the speed of light.
If the Universe is expanding at a significant fraction of the speed of light then we are moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light. If so then what we call rest mass is actually relativistic mass and is subject to change depending upon speed?
