Did the universe expand faster than the speed of light?

[HedonismBot]

OK so I've read in a few places that "something" I can't remember what, once moved fast than light. This might be the speed of expansion of the universe, or maybe I am misinterpreting this, can someone tell me what this is? The last place I remember seeing this is from some science magazine but I can't remember which, thanks for any insight.

I have not heard this but would like to see the article you're reffering to, it sounds very interesting. The only thing I can think of that could be valid within given scientific belief is that possibly the geometry of the universe expanded quicker than the propagation of light particles in the first few pico seconds after the big bang.

I'd love to see this tho.

Google does it again. (http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=575)

This gives some good examples.
