No, you didn't. Maxwell's Equations fail at the quantum level. There is a quantum parallel to his equations though. Those are contained in the field of Quantum Electrodynamics.

You can't go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Light bending or going through a medium will be slower than true 'c'

Plausible.

You can bend spacetime to reduce the distance traveled between 2 points, however you cannot travel faster than light.

Likely.

I don't subscribe to the Fermi Paradox or Great Filter theory, they both seem lazy and a little too arrogant to me.

Because, again, the age/size of the universe. 13 billion years. If that is as far away as we can see... then we can make an assumption that the universe's radius is that big... meaning the universe is about 26 billion light years across.
Actually no, you have to account for the rate of expansion.
Light speed isn't the rate of expansion. The observable universe is likely ~93 billion light years across despite only being 13 billion years old.

Yeah ok

Figured as much...

Light speed isn't the rate of expansion. The universe is likely 91 billion light years across despite only being 13 billion years old.
That's not how this works.

Gonna go ahead and assume you don't actually have that physics degree based off of this one.

What particles are you talking about?

Maxwell's Equations
Explain the behavior of fricking light. Just admit that I'm a quantum physicist so we can move on.

I looked it up. Not only do we take into account the light coming toward us, but the movement of objections away from us. Light has one speed, the objects have another. There's more calculus involved, but I found a calculator that explains it mathematically. LINK
