Space, the finally frontier. Space IS a function of time and dimension. By way of analogy, consider the party decorations made of interlaced tisue paper. It comes flat (2D) in a package but once you open it up it makes a 3D object and what makes it so? The spaces appearing between the plates of tissue. As our observable universe unfolded so did space and for all we know space does not exceed the presence of matter/energy but integrally coexists with the same. Whatever is beyond is unknown and unknowable execpt possibly by reactive or residual phenomena manifested in our plane of existence. If, as some have theorized, the was a moment of hyper inflation back around 10^34 or shortly thereafter, then yes, apparently C can be exceeded and that event resulted in our 3D+T universe we have right now.
