Until someone finds drastically new physics the fastest possible expansion is cubic:
Imagine a bubble expanding at the speed of light bringing everything inside it under complete optimal control.
- TeMPOraL 3y ago> Imagine a bubble expanding at the speed of light bringing everything inside it under complete optimal control. Here's a sci-fi plot idea: a bubble expanding at near-lightspeed is bringing everything inside it under complete optimal control. Lagging behind it a couple years is another bubble, also expanding at near-lightspeed - that of false vacuum collapse. Will the zone of optimal control find a way to stop the nothingness that comes just behind it from consuming the universe?

Here's a universe-eating bubble for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schild%27s_Ladder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schild%27s_Ladder
