Here's a question that's been puzzling me. If the universe is
expanding, and the further an object (e.g. a galaxy) is away from us,
the faster it is moving away from us. Are there parts of space so far
away from us that it's expanding away from us *faster* than the speed
of light? From what I understand the speed of light limitation doesn't
apply to the expansion of space itself.


yes there are parts of the univ. we can't see...yet...the light hasn't had
time to reach us yet.

As to things moving faster than lgiht, well, yes and no, they might appear
to be moving faster than light but they are not really moving through space,
it is just that the space between us and them is getting bigger.
