Default Could the universe be older and bigger than we can see?

The "speed" of the CMBR, in units of comoving distance over cosmological

means essentially nothing, since the speed of light has no special status
when talking about cosmological recession velocities.


Oh BTW, if the CMBR is "comoving" so fast away from us, how are we able
to detect its microwaves at all?
