Not exactly sure how the speed of a receding galaxy is measured, but guessing it has something to do with it's red shift. Assuming it's accurate, how can a receding galaxy move faster than light? Got to be an easy explanation.......
You're right, if we are moving one directing and they are moving the other, they are not actually exceeding the speed of light. But again, light does not follow those rules so if they are measuring red shift, they shouldn't be able to measure it faster than light.....?
Learning is not "cheating" - it's what Google's for!
