A necessary conclusion of Hubble's law is that very-distant galaxies are moving away from us at speeds faster than the speed of light. Which of the following correctly explains this observation?
W) Hubble's law becomes non-linear for very large distances
X) The Hubble constant was originally miscalculated
Y) Due to the metric expansion of space, faraway objects can recede from us faster than the speed of light
Z) The proper distance to faraway galaxies does not scale linearly with the Hubble constant
✔️Answer:Y) DUE TO THE METRIC EXPANSION OF SPACE, FARAWAY OBJECTS CAN RECEDE FROM US FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
