If two beams of light are leaving the Big Bang at the same time traveling in opposite directions, what is their time relative to each other? If they travel for one year in their time are they two light years apart? Or is it less because if they are two light years apart, they would be traveling at two times the speed of light relative to each other?
Aaron, this probably only adds to your confusion, but it's my understanding that no time passes from the point of view of the photon. So there are no relatavistic violations between the two light beams in your example. Of course, this all violates the heck out of my brain. I'm still working on gravity. And gravity's still working on me. Michael
