Can anything travel faster than the speed of light?

Wait a minute now!

Didn't scientists, a couple of weeks ago, tell us that the universe expanded in something less than a trillionth of a second from virtually nothing to something larger than the parts of the universe that are observable by us?

Fo that to have been true, then the espansion at the beginning was travelling many times faster than light.

That was inflation, a different mechanism from expansion, acting on space itself rather than on the material bodies in space.

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small.
But the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.
