I've been thinking about this for some time and just realized
"If the space between can be compressed somehow. "  we can't have that since compression places less atoms or what ever closer together so we have something like an atmosphere which slows down the light.  I don't think we have a perfect vacuum in space and the closer we approach it the faster light would travel.  It's interesting that sound waves travel faster the more dense the media.  Magnetics has strange properties, flux fields, only attracts certain things, it attracts and repels.
Motors and things moving, it seems they do the work for us.

You make an interesting point there Carl2,

Quotewe can't have that since compression places less atoms or what ever closer together

I couldn't possibly argue with that, sounds logical to me. 

After a quick google I came up with this:

The answer is definitely 37 or greater. Maybe 42. The question is a little more tricky. Here goes. How many fields does it take to make a Universe?

Data, you are very close. It is possible for 2 objects in the Universe to be travelling away from each other faster then light. BUT, and it's a big one, no light or information can travel between them. The objects themselves are not travelling FTL, it's the space between them expanding FTL.
The Universe being 13.8 billion years old means that any observer can only see 45 billion light years in any direction (not sure of exact figure but it's about a 45 billion LY bubble due to time dilation). The Universe's expansion is accelerating so even though the visible bubble gets bigger, the visible amount of matter gets smaller each year.

My head hurts.

I'll take that  but no cigar for me 

Read your explanation a few times, the best I can come up with is 22 

But seriously, nicely put Snowy.
