Are you kicking me off the site? What if it turns out that I am right?
Or are you all just interested in alternatives to the truth?

This comment shows that you have very little understanding of the basics
of
relativity, and thus would not be in a position to say that your theory
can
reproduce its successful predictions since you obviously haven't studied
them in any detail. In GR nothing can exceed the speed of light
*locally*
(ie no particle in the same location as a photon can pass it), although
the
distance between objects in different locations can increase faster than
light due to the expansion of space. FTL spatial expansion does not lead
to
causality violations (nor is it solely something that happened shortly
after
the big bang, even today sufficiently distant galaxies are moving away
faster than light--do you know what the Hubble constant is?), but the
ability to exceed light locally certainly would, if you assume local
Lorentz-symmetry.
Like I said before, this isn't an appropriate place to discuss theories
of
"alternative physics", it's off-topic here. Please take this discussion
somewhere else, like the physicsforums.com "Independent Research" forum
I
mentioned earlier.
