What I was saying though is that the speed at which matter is moving outwards from the point of the big bang is increasing exponentially. At a certain point on the X axis of that exponential curve, it will have surpassed 300,000km/s -- unless for some unknown reason it were to suddenly plateau before then and all of our calculations are wrong
