what i really want to know is, as the big bang very clearly exceeded the speed of light (as least to start with) and that gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light, does that mean that at some point in the past the wave front (from the big bang) bounced from the edge of spacetime and was reflected back to the point where the big bang happened?
or am i just being too 3 dimensional??

When the universe came into existence as a single space-time pulse of minimum size and duration.
It accelerated from zero to the speed of light in 3 thirty-billionths of a second,in 1 cm it reached the speed of light and stayed there.
Gravity did not exist at this time it had to wait for the emergence of matter.
The time pulse could not be divided or it would go out of existence.
The only way to exceed the speed of light would be to divide that pulse.
Gravity waves do not seem to be in the electro-magnetic spectrum,but it's reach is restricted by the speed of light
Space is a quantum entity,a single unit cannot expand it can only expand by reducing it's density and that would limit how far it could expand

You are still viewing the Big bang as an explosion that comes fromone place. The expansion of the universe happens from everywhere. Also, the speed of light (and gravity) is fixed relative to space. The photons and gravitons are carried along with the expansion.

In vital besides the undeniable fact that it is not hassle-free. think of placing off an atomic bomb, then attempting to stumble upon the gravity wave brought about via a metamorphosis in mass of one gram. i think of we've set up detectors and now we are only waiting for a suited supernova to happen. the common difficulty is that mass would not purely look or disappear in a suited way very frequently. The sunlight is dropping mass each and every of the time, yet because of the fact it extremely is at a relentless fee we gained't use that to stumble upon a wave front.

Dr. Heim has proven that gravity is no longer consistent at massive distances such as the very edge of the known universe! His calculations also define gravity at the micro limit as well! He is the only man to have found the accurate mass of sub particles!

As the guy above me noted, space itself is expanding. Apparently the expansion of space itself is not constrained by the speed of light.
