Well, that brings up a quick point. Does it really require that the strings be infinite in length? Is that just a simplification to make it easier to do the calculations? Maybe they could just be very long with respect to the frame of reference.

And how do cosmic strings move? They are extremely long and I believe massive. What would cause them to move at close to the speed of light? Also if they were moving at that high a speed they would probably create a significant disturbance in space and a distortion of our view. We should be able to spot them by the trails they would leave behind.

C is not the speed of light in a vacuum.
C is the universal speed limit.
