It's expanding in the sense that objects in space are getting far and far away from each other. A good example is that we on Earth can see the lights from stars that travel billions of miles from their location to ours. At some point in the future, the distance between Earth and those stars will be so great that we won't be able to see the light because the distance is so big that even light will be unable to reach our planet I don't remember who it was, but he said that if humans had emerged on this planet later billion of years later, we would've concluded that there was nothing outside the solar system because we wouldn't be able to see any stars or galaxies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universeThe expansion rate is also faster than the speed of light. Only a little bit though Yep, kinda cool. Space itself is not restricted by the speed of light.
