The speed of light in a [b]vacuum[/b] is only the speed limit inside the vacuum. In a different medium (Perhaps something that has less friction than vacuum?), things could easily travel much faster.

A medium that has less friction than a vacuum? /me 's head falls off
Besides, even when light goes through a medium it's still travelling at c, it's just the absorption and remission as it interacts with it that makes it appear to slow down, kind of like if a ball moved through a pinball machine at a constant rate, it takes a while to get to the bottom because it's hitting everything, if you remove the pins then it goes through at the fastest possible rate.
[QUOTE=ThePuska;19842323]A notion you adopted without giving it any thought at all, now repeating it as a fact based on authority, not on science, spreading the plague that is Misunderstood And Dumbed-Down Physics.[/QUOTE]
Space CAN expand faster than the speed of light because no actual information is being transmitted at all in any way through the expansion.
An extremely simplified explanation of the inflationary period in the early universe can be described as 'the universe expanding faster than the speed of light'.
Proves astronomy beats every other science out there.

Na, that only takes 88mph.
