A Conversation for An Amazing A-Z of Space

The Vampyr Started conversation Feb 11, 2003
The greybeards such as Prof. Stephen Hawkins (who doesn't actually have a beard but if he did, it would be grey) have discovered that as it expands, the Universe is accelerating so gravity has a weaker and weaker hold between objects as time goes on. This means a long, slow death for everything, no Big Crunch and the aliens will never get to hear the spice girls as they're travelling away from them faster than the signals are going out. Bet you wish we were travelling faster than spice! Vampgone!.........

I only wish we were travelling faster than the spice girls.

Surely radio signals travel through a vacum at the speed of light? The galaxies can't be moving away from us at the speed of light, so that means the radio signals will eventually catch up with them even if said galaxies increase in speed over time.
