Because it is space itself that is expanding, and not a case of objects flying apart through space, the distance (in the sense of comoving distance) between far removed galaxies can increase faster than the speed of light without violating the laws of special relativity.
For this to be true, space would have to be a perfect conductor of energy and there would have to be an infinite amount of energy a finite distance from Earth.
Grand unification theories predicted point defects in space which would manifest themselves as magnetic monopoles, and the density of these monopoles was much higher than what could be accounted for.

 Horrendous Space Kablooie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Horrendous Space Kablooie is an alternate term for the Big Bang, coined by Bill Watterson in his comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
In one strip, Calvin says to Hobbes, "I've been reading about the beginning of the universe.
This term enjoyed a brief popularity in the scientific community and was widely used in informal communications (often abbreviated to "the HSK").

It states, among other things, that matter and information cannot travel through space faster than the speed of light, and it is empirically invalid for global space-time concepts (because it ignores gravity).
Another prediction was that as these photons are subject to the expansion of space, their wavelengths would have been "stretched" or red-shifted.
A critical further prediction was that the further away one looks, the hotter the universe should appear to be (as looking further away corresponds to looking backwards in time), and at some extremely distant point the radiation in the universe should be so thick as to become opaque.

That this period of the universe would be observable in the form of cosmicbackground radiation (CBR) was first predicted in the 1940s, and the discovery of such radiation in the 1960s swung mostscientific opinion against the Big Bang theory's chief rival, the steady state theory.

In Space VLBI, an Earth-orbiting radio telescope is connected to a network of ground-based telescopes.
A key goal of Space VLBI is to use the long baselines between Earth and a spacecraft in orbit, and the precision of interferometry to allow us to create images as close as possible to the accretion disk around fl holes, with as much detail as possible.

 Telegraph | Arts | We are wandering stardust
As recently as 1992, the astrophysicist George Smoot – who confirmed the existence of "wrinkles" in the cosmic background radiation, fossil traces of the origin of galaxies and stars – said of the resulting images of the Big Bang that "it was like seeing the face of God".
For example, one of the great ironies of the Big Bang theory is that it takes its name from a derisive put-down by Fred Hoyle, its most vehement opponent and staunch supporter of the rival Steady State theory.
In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître inferred from Albert Einstein's relativistic space-time equations that the universe was expanding.
