Monty Python legend Eric Idle and fresh-faced rockstar physicist Brian Cox have teamed up to write a song. It's an update to Monty Python's "Galaxy song" about the meaning(lessness) of life, with a new focus on the biological reasons for our insignificance and will be featuring on the BBC show The Wonder of Life in January. Idle …
Yes, the universe isn't moving, it's stretching. Or space is stretching. Or something.
By the way, this came up when there was that song about "Nine million bicycles in Beijing", and I don't think -that's- true any more either, they've all got cars now. The bicycles might be still there in attics, but probably not everyone in Beijing has an attic, either.

Actually, you might want to make that 14 billion light years across. According to relativity, any two things moving away from the same point (i.e., the original site of the big bang) at the speed of light, are also only moving away from each other at the speed of light.
But I'm getting giddy from all the big numbers. I likes me exponents negative, I tells you!
Thanks to all for the responses.
Wikipedia has this to say:
"While special relativity constrains objects in the universe from moving faster than the speed of light with respect to each other, there is no such theoretical constraint when space itself is expanding. It is thus possible for two very distant objects to be expanding away from each other at a speed greater than the speed of light,"

Which is interesting.
