I'm a new user so go easy.
Ok. Here we go...I may have some trouble adequately explaining my query. We are able to look to distant stars, galaxies etc and effectively "see the past". Why are there (ignoring technological barriers) events that have occurred that we cannot see i.e. the light has not reached us yet? My query is based on the premise that all matter origated from a singularity. Did this original "explosion" happen at faster than the speed of light?
For the purposes of discussion, I come from a purely scientific standpoint.

Think I'm beginning to get this...I've heard different analogies to describe this expansion. Ants on a balloon etc.
Really appreciate you're reply.
Fantastic forum by the way!
