The expansion of space itself can exceed the speed of light.

If space ,itself, is moving fasster than the speed of light then the light from distant objects could not reach us, or overcome us. Depending on the relative motion of both

Good point. We probably won't live long enough to see anything cool that will come of it eventually. I personally believe our physics are flawed in a few basic theories. That's why we have not been able to make the next great leap. We have mastered making old principals smaller and faster but there have been no truly new discoveries in my lifetime
That's the most self centric, and self delusional statements I have heard in my life! Or you must be very young! I'll give you two of many examples. Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The two of them comprise about 96% of the universe. And we had no idea of their existence ten years ago! We are making the next great leap monthly!!

Uh you might just read the latest. The top dogs are now stating the Standreds Model of Physics is flawed. Just saying. Have you read the latest? Also we did not invent dark matter. We have not INVENTED anything new per say. Just miniaturized existing text so we could put it on your wrist instead of a whole building.Sorry I reread the post it was meant to say what I stated here. I do apologize. Sometimes my mind works faster than my fingers. Lol. We have made great discoveries but our flawed physics is holding us back.
