hi CD re #2, how come matter can travel faster than the speed of light?... the answer as they call it " The great expansion". dont ask me how or why they worked that one out, but concider the recent photos from the hubble telescope, in one frame they have caught millions of "early galaxies" formed long before ours. now concider thses galaxies are roughly 13.5 billion light years away, matter must have formed from an early time after the big bang.
