I think any apparent disagreement between what you're saying and what I said is simply a matter of semantics. My understanding of the physics involved is that time "flows" at the speed of light in a vacuum, and the "space" into which it flows is unbounded by conventional and quantum models and therefore the expansion of space can occur at a rate >c
