The reasons why physicists assert that space is doing the expansion
instead
of the galaxies are moving apart by themselves as follows:
1. The age of the universe is determined to be 14 billions years old.
2. The current observed horizon of the opposite regions of the universe
is
28 billion years apart.
3. This means that these opposite regions of the universe cannot possibly
be
in contact with each other and at the same time preserves that the
postulate
of SRT that no massive object can move faster than the speed of light.
This
is known as the horizon problem. This would mean the refutation of the
standard Big Bang model.
4. To save the BB model cosmologist came up with the idea that the
expansion
of the universe is due to that space itself is doing the expansion and
that
space expansion is not subject to the limitation imposed by the speed of
light c.


If you could have galaxies moving apart faster than the speed of
light,

But galaxies cannot move apart faster than the speed of light.

provided that they are not moving relative to space faster than
the speed of light (because its expanding) wouldn't that imply that
speed relative to space is physically meaningful?

Speed wrt space is already meaningful. The perceived horizon problem does
not exist. See my paper entitled "Cosmology Based on Absolute Motion" in the
following website:
