According to current theories in cosmology, the universe is expanding, and the rate of expansion is increasing. However, it is important to note that the expansion of space itself does not violate the laws of physics, including the speed of light.

The expansion of the universe is not caused by objects moving through space, but rather by the space between objects increasing. This means that even if two objects were moving away from each other due to the expansion of space, they would not be violating the speed of light, as they are not moving through space itself.

Furthermore, while the expansion of the universe may make some regions of space further away and harder to observe, it does not make them completely inaccessible or unknowable. Cosmologists are able to study the universe through a variety of methods, including observing light from distant objects and studying the cosmic microwave background radiation, which provides information about the early universe.

So while the expansion of the universe may present challenges to our ability to observe and understand it, it does not necessarily make any parts of the universe completely inaccessible or unknowable.
