All time distortions are focused through the ecosystem. The earth is round. Look left. Look right. Look forward. Turn around and look back. Looks flat, huh?
According to Hubble anything beyond the visible universe - 14 Billion light years - is traveling faster than the speed of light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble
Speed of light is a limit only to things that travel in space. This limit does NOT apply for space itself as it can stretch arbitrarly fast like it did during inflationary period. p.s. the visible universe extends 92 billion light years in diameter(not 14).
