shortened question

| Aug 7, 2016 at 7:24 | comment | added | knzhou | @JimMcMillan I still think it is a duplicate, but the answers in that question dance around the issue you raised. So I made a separate answer to address it. | |

| Aug 7, 2016 at 7:10 | comment | added | Yashas | Tell your friend to assume that space is like a cloth which can stretch. Tell him that light always moves along the space fabric (say that this is a fact). There is some godly force which keeps expanding the space, i.e: be the god and hold your piece of cloth and stretch it from two ends. The light will continue to move along the new elongated space fabric as usual but the distance between two points increases just like the distance between your hands increased. | |
| Aug 7, 2016 at 7:07 | comment | added | Jim McMillan | "but since those light-years that you measured have expanded since the photon passed through" - this is the premise from the answer you incorrectly assert answers my question. | |
