Well, size is relative, too. Relative to some fixed measurement. In order for your question to make sense, you'll have to indicate some fixed measurement that did not also "double in size." Otherwise the question is meaningless, equivalent to asking "if all time stopped for a billion years, freezing everything in the universe, and then started again, would we know?"

If nothing can travel faster than light, then it's just not possible for the universe to double in size overnight, because it's too big. (We measure distances between stars in light-years.) So the question is meaningless and you shouldn't expect to be able to find an answer.

Ah, so if nothing can travel faster than light, how do you explain the big bang. The universe went from practically a singularity to an entire universe in under a microsecond.
So again, I ask, if a similar process took place, hypothetically of course, and the space expanded by a factor of 2 (i.e. doubled in size) overnight, is there anyway you could tell it had occurred ? ? ?

Universe was *much* smaller during inflation than today, but expansion took some incredibly small amount of time.
Mechanism is a bit more complicated but nothing ever gone nor will be going by speed of light or more. Inflation was driven by expansion of 'space' itself, and insinde it nothing actually moved at speed of light.
I just figured out that your question was osmething like 'if we could repeat inflation in our universe today, and double it's size, what would happen'?
From our point I think nothing would be visible to us, if thinking of it like big-bang inflation thing.

I agree that the flux theory website I linked to is not without it's flaws, but it's more the concept that I am after.
I personally believe that everything in the universe is made out of sub-dimensional wavelengths/waveshapes. With this theory, there is a much simpler explanation for just about everything in the universe. The reference to a dodecahedron as a model for what space is filled with is nothing new. It's a concept for visualization, not a real thing.
I think that guys site could use a lot of work, but the basic concepts are worth reading through. His explanation for the force of gravity is very sloppy, and doesn't really seem to explain anything.
