Recently we watched a video (http://www.flixxy.com/hubble-ultra-deep-field-3d.htm) by Tony Darnell in which he discussed the recent Hubble Ultra Deep Field images. During this video he says that some of the light in these images is coming from 47 billion light years away and that some of the galaxies generating this light are moving faster that the speed of light. Obviously these statements pose difficulties for the many people who presently believe the Universe to be around 13.7 billion years old. Question: HOW CAN WE GET 47 BILLION LIGHT YEARS OF SPACE INTO 13.7 BILLION YEARS OF TIME?
Perhaps some kind of visual model could be developed to show our ever-expanding Universe pitted with singularities of infinite gravity (and other phenomena) in which only a certain slice of time-space can be observed (perceived?). This is of course a bit beyond my ability. In a similiar vein, we found this model very interesting and helpful:

We hope that you may perhaps undertake to address this idea.
