that DOES seem like breaking the rules. If it indeed was faster then light, that would mean the universe's mass was infinite ?

The big bang was more an expansion in the size of space than an expansion of matter into space. Some of this shit is really hard to conceptualise because we can't really think in greater than 3 dimensions, but I think that's basically the gist of it.

that seems to explain it, thanks

Well, renegade answered that part, but anyway, if an object would move faster than light, it wouldn't have infinite mass. Infinite mass would only be if the object would move at exactly the speed of light. Now, if it would move faster, the mass would be an imaginary number, because you'd divide by a square root of a negative number. Now what exactly imaginary mass would be in a real world, I have no idea...
