I was recently watching "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawkings" (a general video about the universe on Science Channel) when I heard the statement "Just 10 minutes after the Big Bang, the Universe was 1,000s of light years across." How is this possible if nothing can travel faster than light. Even if two things traveled in the exact opposite directions from the initial start of the Big Bang at the speed of light, they would only be 20 lightminutes apart. Is this statement simply incorrect, or was it possibly to expand much faster than light in the Universe's infancy?
