I have been curious about this but cannot find any real resources that answer it succinctly:
Our current understanding of the universe is that nothing can travel faster then the speed of light. so far science in general has been unable to prove otherwise.
However:
As far as we know the age of the universe is 14.6 Billion years (give or take an eon or two) and our measurment of the size of the universe puts it at around 93 Billion light years in diameter. Doesn't this prove that the speed of light can indeed and has been breached? all matter in the universe was at one point traveling much faster then the speed of light, if it was a physical impossibility then the universe should only be 29.2 billion light years in diameter.
yes this is the random thought that passes through my brain as the work day comes to a close. any input is greatly appreciated.
