I've seen several scientific programs (NOVA, Discovery, ect.) and read that a major piece of evidence for universal expansion is the red shift and increasing speed of movement of galaxies as related to the distance from the Milky Way. I have a very basic and most likely naïve question to this logic. 1: There is a direct relation to distance from us (observers) and speed of movement away from us. Further away=faster; 2: There is a direct relation to distance from us and time. Further away=further back in time. Would it not be logical that objects and matter from the distant past (closer to the time of the big bang) are moving faster than objects closer to us and closer to our time?
