It can't be moving at the speed of light the entire time it's expanding, it would have to slow down, science says so.

theres nothing to slow it down. if say a comet swings around the sun and get flung back out of our solar system into the deepest throws of the universe (i know our solar system isnt near the end of the universe.... just a hypothetical) it will continue to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. in this case, even the comets gravity isnt strong enough to slow it down. gravity is very weak... as compared to say, magnetism.
there is no way to go as fast as the speed of light..... yet
science actually says an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. in this case.... the universe is our movin object..... what force is bigger than the universe, or has the ability to change the speed of an object that is bigger than everything??
imo, if the universe was infinite, wouldn't everything just be?? wouldnt the everything already be in its final location and the universe not be expanding?? too bad it is expanding.
like goodstuff said.... infinte is used to describe thing that ARE NOT things.... our universe and its components are very much real things.
