Hi Peter
I hope you are well.
The Big Bang Theory has it that it is space that is expanding and the speed limit applies to matter and not space so there is no conflict here.
However read up on the Cosmic egg and how it apparently figured in the discussions of cosmology for twenty years before the Big Bang if you want to wonder about things.
I have been thinking about the theory recently...observation doesn't take us past the observatiin of the background radiation but the theory does.
Although I subscribe to mainstream and accept its rules I like the steady state universe approach which has been rejected.
But within the Big Bang model there is no inconsistency with Special Relativity. The model has no flaws.
