Age and size of universe?
If quasars can be seen at 10 billion light years away and the universe 
is "only" 15 billion years old doesn't this mean that the universe is
at least 20 billion light years across and to have expanded to that 
size wouldn't matter have had to travel faster than the speed of 
light?
