the universe went from virtually nothing to many light years in a small fraction of a second Cause & effect are not violated by superluminal speed if the direction is constant (in this case away from the big bang). No information is conveyed unless one partical can overtake another. I may be way off here. I had the weak understanding that the initial inflation of the universe was due to the output of the big bang spreading at 'c' the speed of light. It's just that the energy spreading was also pushing the outerboundary of the universe at the same time. This would imply a particle moves a millimeter in a fraction of a second (in it's frame of reference), but by that very movement caused to the universe to double,triple, or grow a thousand fold in volume. Therefore that movement of a millimeter, relative to the particle, was a distance of half way across the universe, which was and is getting bigger all the time. Like I said, my understanding gets pretty weak on the boundaries. TP
