In Time

I often wondered how ‘matter’ scattered around the universe at such great distances in the same ‘timeframe’ that it takes ‘light’ billions of years to arrive here while at the same time the universe is supposed to be only 13 billion years old. Then I saw this and realized that the galaxies are NOT MOVING per se but that the geometry of space is dynamic and changes in time. In other words the galaxies don’t move farther apart they just BECOME farther apart. This movie shows that the cosmological ‘redshift’ is due to the geometry of space being dependant on time.
