The video is about one thing, he made very many good points. The first comment under it was about sth else, and provoked an answer from me. Or two. On site, one was taken down, one is inaccessible, as I write this.

- Light travels at 186,000 miles per second everywhere, and nothing can go faster. But from our galaxy, where strong gravity makes time and space feel like slow motion, light from distant galaxies seems to reach us many times faster than light speed, and things like plasma jets appear to race way beyond it. This isn’t because the universe is breaking its own rules. It’s because our measurements of distance and time inside a galaxy don’t work in the low-gravity voids between galaxies. Our erroneous measurements make galaxies seem farther, their light seem to arrive super fast, and the universe appear older than it is.
Inside our galaxy, near a massive black hole, gravity compresses space, so 186,000 miles looks shorter on our ruler, and it slows time, so our clock ticks slower. In the low-gravity voids, space is stretched, so 186,000 miles seems like a much longer distance to us, and time runs faster, so clocks tick quicker. These changes “keep pace” with light, so its speed always measures 186,000 miles per second out there. But stretched space and faster time together create a faster rate of causation, making events like light traveling or plasma jets moving happen much quicker. When we use our galactic ruler and clock, a plasma jet looks like it’s crossing a huge perceived distance so fast it seems to exceed light speed. In reality, it’s slower than the local speed of light, and the distance isn’t as far as it seems.
For distant galaxies, this is even more striking. With no major gravity between us and them to slow things down, light travels through stretched space and faster time, reaching us so quickly it seems to arrive many times faster than light speed by our galactic measurements. We can’t apply our compressed ruler and slow clock to the void, so we overestimate how far galaxies are and how long their light takes, making the universe seem older. In reality, galaxies are closer, and their light arrives faster, suggesting a younger universe.
Picture this. Hold your hands close together to represent 186,000 miles inside a galaxy, where gravity compresses space. Say “one thousand and one” at a normal pace, like a slow Earth clock, as light crosses that distance in one second. That’s light speed here. Now, imagine that same 186,000 miles in a low-gravity void, where space is stretched. Spread your hands farther apart to show that distance, which looks bigger to us, and say “one thousand and one” as fast as you can, like a quicker clock out there. Light still crosses that distance in one second, measuring the same speed, because stretched space and faster time balance out. But this faster rate of causation makes a plasma jet, measured with our shorter galactic ruler and slower clock, look like it’s racing across that larger perceived distance faster than light. Similarly, light from distant galaxies seems to arrive almost instantly by our measurements, because our slow-motion ruler and clock exaggerate the distance and time, making the light’s speed seem many times faster than 186,000 miles per second.
This is Einstein’s relativity at work: light’s speed stays constant because distance and time adjust together. In low-gravity voids, stretched space and faster time make events happen faster, so galaxies are closer, and their light seems to arrive super fast by our erroneous measurements, hinting at a younger universe. Objects with mass, like asteroids, can’t go faster than light, but our galactic measurements make plasma jets and distant galaxies seem farther and faster. Relativity shows the universe is wilder—and way more exciting—than it seems!

- Fancy explanation. Might work.
Two problems.
1) How do you account for knowing there are galaxies that distant?
2) And if visible space is all that big, how far away is Heaven, like God's throne room in heavenly Jerusalem?
If stars are just one light day away, and Heaven just above the stars, makes sense, and if Geocentrism is true, is also possible.
Do you have any major hitch with Geocentrism?
Oh, one thing:
"Objects with mass, like asteroids, can’t go faster than light"
Through what?
Through empty coordinates of space? Or through the fabric of space?
Because, if stars are for instance 1 light day up, that is the radius, 2 light days is the diameter, and 6.28 light days roughly is the periphery and actual distance the stars move each day ... through space as coordinates.
I would obviously say, the stereoma or firmament is a section of the fabric of space, of the aether, which God is moving around Earth each day.
So, the stars would be moving 6.28 times the speed of light with that level of the firmament, but absolutely not through it.
Meanwhile, the firmament itself has no mass, and can therefore move that much faster than the speed of light around the Equator. If there is something moving it. God would presumably be adequate.

- Have you heard this one, then?
Two problems [repeating the substance of above, as a single comment, which also immediately disappeared, though I had changed "you" to "Jungle Jargon"] ...
