I have made a theory that proves the Big Bang Theory wrong, and I would just 
like to know if it is legitimate. The theory states that the universe was 
infinitesimally small. If it were so, then in order for it to expand, it would 
have to be expanding at a speed greater than infinity. (Infinity+1=infinity) 
Since it is not possible for anything to move at a speed greater than infinity, 
how is it that the universe could expand? Moreover, if it could expand, it 
would be at a VERY slow speed/velocity, the theory states that at one second, 
the universe was infinitesimally small, and the next it was billions of light
years across. (For it to be billions of light years across, it would have
to be moving at a tremendously great speed.)
