| Abstract: | Very-long-baseline-interferometry tests of the exploding Quasar 3C-279 show conclusively the presence of two components that are moving apart at six times the speed of light. These truly super-light velocities of material objects are shown to be consistent with a cosmological distance of 3 billion light years and a sub-light Einsteinian abstract mathematical velocity of 0.95C. Supposed difficulties in accepting the results of these tests are resolved. |
