Because the term 'Hubble flow' is more about a relationship between distance and velocity, it might not have meaning to describe the flow itself as having any particular speed. Hubble flow encompasses the observed expansion of matter in the universe; the further away a galaxy is, the faster it appears to be receding from us, measurable by the redshifting (Doppler effect). This would tend to imply that at the most extreme distances, galaxies may be receding from us at velocities approaching the speed of light, and would thus be redshifted into invisibility and become unobservable, thereby placing a boundary on the visible universe; however, this effect is difficult to detect due to the extreme distances involved.

Can echoes travel faster than light?

No. Nothing can travel faster than light.


Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?

No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.


Why is Hubble better than telescopes?

Hubble is better than ground-based telescopes because it operates above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and block visible light. This allows Hubble to capture clearer and sharper images of the cosmos. Additionally, its position in space provides a wider field of view and enables it to observe ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths that are not easily accessible from the ground.


Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?

Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).


Can information travel faster than the speed of light?

No, according to the theory of relativity in physics, information cannot travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This is because as an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases towards infinity, making it impossible to exceed the speed of light.
