What about the universal constant-the speed of light? Where's Einstein when he's needed? This is truly baffling to non-astronomers like me.

From what I've read, in inflation models, it's space itself which is coming into existence, hence the speed of light isn't a barrier. Stuff moving in space appears to be unable to exceed light's speed, but the expansion of space itself can.
