Re:How Can a Star Be Older Than the Universe? by mFixman on Thursday October 17, 2019 @06:57AM (#21280703)
The comparison that helped me understand it was seeing the Universe as a balloon.

My friend and I both live at different points on the surface of a balloon with distance A. I throw a ball at light speed while the balloon is being inflated, and the distance between us is B when the ball reaches him after T time.

To my friend it seems that the ball was thrown at B / T speed, which is faster than the speed of light.
