    At the instant of the "Big Bang", did things expand to the size of "our" galaxy in the fraction of a second? With about 7,000,000,000,000 miles to the galactic light year thats a long, long way.
    Anybody care to debate the correlation to the Religious sects beliefs? Ya know I think we are "Both" right about the origin of the time and space we know.

    Much faster

    If Inflation is right then the Universe expanded millions of times larger than we can see now in about 10^-30 seconds.

    As I understand it (which isn't very well), the universe was actually expanding many times faster than the speed of light in the first fractions of a second... correct?
