It's my understanding that the expansion rate of the universe is faster than the speed of light... or could be at least, and therefore you can't get to the "edge" because you would have to travel faster than is physically possible to do so.

If this is true it brings up the interesting possibilities of FTL travel. If you were to be moving via a warp drive lets say, you should be able to get to the edge of the universe. Unlesses it as well is warped such that as you get closer to the edge you get smaller and smaller, such that you can never quite reach it...

OK sorry for that mindless ranting, I'm done.
