The Hubble radius is defined as the distance from our location where particles (galaxies) are receding from us at the speed of light. Our “Hubble radius” is currently about 13.8 billion light years. Beyond the Hubble radius, particles are receding faster than the speed of light. This apparent violation of the cosmic speed limit is usually explained as being possible because space itself is expanding and space has no speed limit. Particles in this volume of space are not traveling faster than the local photons.
However, this explanation creates a problem. It implies that the space beyond our Hubble radius is fundamentally different from our local space. For a thought experiment, imagine that we could instantly teleport an electron anywhere in the universe. If we teleported an electron to a volume of space beyond our Hubble radius, the electron that we consider to be stationary, would be moving faster than the speed of light propagating in the volume of space beyond our Hubble radius. Obviously, the electron we consider to be stationary cannot exist in the quantum vacuum beyond our Hubble radius. Omni-directional gravitational waves emanating from a point in space that is beyond our Hubble radius would appear to us to have a velocity distribution that is symmetrical to the local CMB rest frame there. This implies to me that space is a sonic medium with a privileged frame of reference. What do you think?
