>fastest achievable speed is that of the light
>universe may expand faster than light
How is that possible?

>muh frame perspective
that's the fastest speed inside the universe, which is expanding into not-universe, or alternatively just stretching
hope this helps friendo

it's like, relative or something
why do people waste time on this bullshit without real world applications?
For a simple analogy think of a Conways game of life, where every step new cells are added to the border of the simulation.
The maximum speed for any object is 1 cell per step. But we could potentially add 2 or more cells per step to the border of the simulation. So the "universe" would be expanding faster than anything inside it could possibly move.

Why do people ask questions they consider interesting about a subject they enjoy? Also, what we think is useless now may become useful in the future. That's been the case for hundreds of years now.

Clearly we're just guessing it. Just like we're guessing what material the inner layers of earth are made of. Can't see it, can't know for sure.

The universe has a rate of expansion, not a speed.

More universe that is contracting.
