Now I must go to bed!
Mainstream physicists (spacetime believers) agree that all events (in SR, events include: matter-energy and phenomena) propagate in a theoretical speed of light c.

Unfortunately, mainstreamers don't use terms like:
expansion [4D expansion](RascalPuff's theme) and
move [matter-energy move against the frame of light] (your theme).

Mainstreamers always reiterate just this term: "propagate" despite many of them agree that spacetime stores everything - all past matter-energy and phenomena were kept up to now.
