Superluminal cosmic expansion

121 views

It is known that for distances larger than the radius of the Hubble Sphere, according to the Hubbble Law galaxies are receding with velocities larger than c. Is this a real effect violating the speed limit of objects, or is it more accurate to assume that it is space between sources that is stretching at this speed?
