Nothing can travel through space faster than light. But the expansion of the universe isn’t an expansion in space, it’s an expansion of space. Space can expand faster than the speed of light. This does not violate the lightspeed limit within space.

In other words, nothing in the universe can travel FTL but the universe itself is expanding FTL.

Nice try,, and i know we always get told evasions like that. But the standard constant, speed of light, is expressed as being in a vacuum.
Same thing as into nothingness, unless you also believe in dark matter.

Or... the universe is infinite.

Can you prove it is not?
