Re: The speed of light, etc

OK. <, sigh>> Skip to my final comment and don't feel you have to read/reply to this as it's probably a silly question and, as before, being totally irrelevant.

If there was a straight line from A through B & C to
point D. (Have I lost you yet)

1) I am on point A with a speedometer oh and a mahoosive telescope.

2) If I were able to see points B & D, point C being invisible (big bang or whatever) and .......

..... I can see B & D are moving apart from each other at the speed of light what would my speedometer register as the relative speed that they were travelling apart...... I am assuming super dooper planets could move that fast

Give up reading now unless you want the same headache as I have.

3) My head is seeing 2 cars, driving in opposite directions, passing at 30 mph surely they would be moving apart at 60 mph

Off to go and lie down in a dark room.

Add// Just realised I'm probably confusing the speed of light with the speed of sound but I have spent so much time pondering about all this that I blowed if I'm going to delete the sodding post!!!!!!!!!!
