Abstract
Why do we see galaxies 5,000 Million light-years away? Light must have taken that long to get here. To date, there have been only two replys. First, the suggestion that light has traveled along Riemannian-surfaces and has arrived from the most distant astronomical object within a period of about 16 years. There may be a problem here because the basis upon which this is formulated may not necessarily be correct. The basis for this Riemannian-surfaces idea demands that the speed of light depends upon the motion of the source. While Cantor in 1962 seemed to get a result from one of his experiments that indicated that this was the case (that experiment was reported in New Scientist Volume 16 page 276), the experiment was not able to be reproduced using laser techniques in the mid 1970's. To some extent this Riemannian-surfaces technique lacks verification. In addition there is a good chance we should be seeing double images from most of the objects out in space; and this is not the case.
