    The size will shrink aswell. As the acceleration of the universe's expansion increases, the "edge" will come closer and closer to us.

    If I hold my hands together and then release them in opposite directions my hands aren't traveling at twice the "speed-of-hands". Only the space between them is, and space can travel as fast as it wants.

    By that reasoning, whouldnt the fastest a human can run be the speed wich usain bolt and the 2nd fastest guy can run away from eachother?
    Should be start measuring the speed of a car by how fast the distance between it and a car moving in the opposite direction increases?

    You know what I wonder? If there was a particle traveling so fast that it could cover the distance of the entire universe within a nano second, where would it be one nano second later?

    lol good try but not exactly how it works. but your close, space does not move, BUT it can be compressed and expanded, and because compression and expansion are not movement they can happen at any rate. This is how Warp drives work, they compress and expand space at faster and faster rates allowing a ship to go faster than the speed of light with out ever actually moving an inch. this is because space is the thing " moving " as it is Compressed infront and Expanded behind the ship.

    Wrong.
    If you change the spin of a quantum entangled photon, it's twin will also change no matter their distance.
    The universe is a probabilistic simulator which renders reality according to known information. Check out the double slit experiment then delayed choice quantum eraser for more information.

    Everything is rendered into reality, one plank length at a time based on ?
    Before that, it is simply a wave of potential.

    Space itself can "go" faster than light.

    as I explained before space does not " move "so it has no speed; However it can Compress and Expand at any rate it wishes at compression and expansion are not movement.

    It is somewhat similar, but in Mass Effect it was possible due to peculiar properties of zero element that doesn't exist in our world (as far as we know), while this idea is about Higgs field which actually can be generated.

This hypothesis was disproven, but the tachyonic fields still remain a firm subject of modern physics.
    I think tachyonic fields are about imaginary masses, while these theories are about negative ones.

    The first one is true, but there's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem for that.

    DQCE depends on what setup you're using and what interpretation of QM you follow.

    Orienting them towards each other doesn't change their speed. Their speed is always relative to something not in motion.

    One truth of science anyone who proclaims something is impossible is an idiot. Humans have barely begun to understand the universe so to decide now that it is impossible to go twice the speed of light is rather foolish.

    Except when current physics says something is impossible, it's based on equations and highly accurate experimental models. It's completely unrelated to previous generations saying things like "it's impossible to fly", "it's impossible to go faster than the speed of sound", etc., and who got disproven later on.

    Do you have a reference for that?

    As far as I understand the "size of observable universe" means the current distance to the furthest object we can currently observe, and it would seem that acceleration would move the objects further away from us (while there are fewer and things we can see). And: can the size of the observable universe in an expanding universe be smaller than the age of the universe (multiplied by c)?

    It's unclear why you would even think they were equivalent at all.

    You're welcome to challenge the impossibility of human levitation by jumping off a building, if you really want to put your money where your mouth is. (Don't do this.)

    QM is so different from macro scale mechanics, i find it hard to get a grasp of what is possible and what is not tbh.
    I suppose it can be argured whatever what i said can be considered*movement* or not yes.
    Personally i find Bohm's theories the most plausable as their quite easy to grasp as opposed to all the multiverse, infinite timelines and the crazy amount of other theories.

    Can't blame ppl for picking the bible tbh, this "#¤% is just to darn complex and consumes so much time when you could just enjoy your short life to its fullest.

    If you're going the speed of light "moving forward" is impossible.

    its impossible because you will never actually reach the speed of light, as you go faster your mass increases requiring more energy to move you but to reach 100% light speed your mass would be infinite requiring infinite energy. this is why anything with mass can never actually reach the speed of light.

    and that makes your Boom a dud. but nice try atleast you were thinking.
