It's not the galaxies flying away from each other. It is the universe expanding. Means the light has to travel a longer distance.

Yes very good points in your thread we must always keep an open mind to the possibility of the main-stream theory being wrong its what makes science what it is. When the JWST (James-Webb Telescope) is Launched and used i think we will get a much clearer picture of what really is near the earliest time of our universe it will be interesting to find out . I Personally think maybe there are other Universes who knows maybe the big bang was just one of many explosions etc.
Nice thread S&F
Check out my thread i made today its pretty cool if u like space.

Which Stars Are A Friendly Place For Life To Form Lets See...
Actually that's pretty close to how the math works out. I calculated the recessional velocity of some of the most distant galaxies and it's close to the speed of light.

i realize inflation theorys but how can you explain two galaxies of the same age (in no time) seperated by the distence relitive to their ages?
That gives you an approximate scale for the current distance.
The current comoving distance to the particles which emitted the CMBR, representing the radius of the visible universe, is calculated to be about 14.0 billion parsecs (about 45.7 billion light years), while the current comoving distance to the edge of the observable universe is calculated to be 14.3 billion parsecs (about 46.6 billion light years),[1] about 2% larger.
The age of the universe is about 13.75 billion years...

how would you explain a fully mature galaxy at z=10.2?
edit to add if you could see it
But there are enough things we HAVE seen we're having a hard time explaining (like dark matter/dark energy observations etc) to keep us busy, without worrying about tying to explain things we haven't seen yet.
If you find evidence of a fully mature galaxy at redshift 10.2, post it, as I'd be interested to see the evidence, and yes, I'd have to think about the explanation.
Extended blobs discovered thus far have mostly been seen at a distance when the universe was 2 to 3 billion years old. No extended blobs have previously been found when the universe was younger.
"We hesitated to spend our precious telescope time by taking spectra of this weird candidate. We never believed that this bright and large source was a real distant object. We thought it was a foreground interloper contaminating our galaxy sample," continued Ouchi. "But we tried anyway. Then, the spectra exhibited a characteristic hydrogen signature clearly indicating a remarkably large distance—12.9 billion light years!"
