That is why we cannot see them.
But the science is settled. FTL expansion denier!
And the universe is 13.8 Billion years old. And began from a singularity, and some things are 24 billion light years apart. That alone tells you that yes, speed of light can be exceeded.
There are some very weak points in this article.
The entire universe is inside a wormhole.

Universe is not expanding. Black hole don’t exist
OK.... Thanks for clearing that up.... I think.

I’m not even going to pretend I understand this, but I have a question. If two things left the point of the singularity in opposite directions traveling at the speed of light for 13.8 billion years, wouldn’t they now be 27.6 billion light years apart?
What if those objects are receding?
"If you’re sitting at a stoplight in your Tesla, kick it into insane mode, and accelerate to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, you won’t get a ticket for speeding, as long as the speed limit itself is 60 mph or greater."
It essentially destroys everything the author is trying to say, and it has nothing to do with anything whatsoever. The correct analogy is: If you accelerate your Tesla to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds driving East, the cop cannot claim you were going ~1060 mph by adding the speed of the Tesla to the speed of the underlying medium (Earth) because comoving objects in General Relativity [the cop, you] do not have velocities that add that way relative to the frame of reference they're in.
And to answer your question: Yes, objects can be further from each other than their distance to the beginning of spacetime, and those objects essentially cannot see each other, they are beyond each other's event horizons.
Absolutely not! Well, maybe. The speed of light is only determined by relative points of reference. Some points of reference, maybe outside of relative relationship. Dimensional enthusiasm is not paid much attention, by well compensated “one size” standardist blowhards.
This is confirmed by observations since the 1990s of Type Ia supernovae compared to their observed redshifts. The ratio of the redshift to the brightness of the exploding star is not constant, but rather stars that are farther away seem to have much higher redshifts, indicating acceleration.
The end result will be the Big Rip.
DE and the Inflation Theory are two different theories. Inflation Theory is still speculative with no real observational confirmation (other than the large-scale anisotropy for which it was invented to explain in the first place).
Nice explanation, FredZ. Thank you.

When I get to heaven I want to see the universe from it. Watching the movie Interstellar made me think about this. And I want to know if God created aliens on other solar systems as well...
If I’m not mistaken, that 24 billion light years distance between two objects would be the sum total of their movement away from each other. That means they each moved, assuming both are moving at the speed they were since time began, 12 billion light years in those 13.8 billion years of time.
