I have been picturing the early universe that expanded under the speed of light producing the great matter-antimatter annihilation, heavier elements, galaxies, and black hole formation - ALL within a region in which the mass of the universe prevented the escape of light until the LET THERE BE LIGHT moment after 13 billion years light could finally escape from a universe that was diffuse enough to release the light.

Inflation theory from 1980 is BOGUS. The tired light theory is BOGUS.

This twice as old theory does not rely on breaking the laws of light.
