Especially the part about the speed of light being near infinite at the start of the big bang. If the speed of light is determined by how fast the discrete components that make up the universe can be updated, it would make sense that 'c' slows as the universe expands. Since the state of all parts that can 'observe' each other must be update each 'turn' , this update gets slower as the universe gets bigger. When the universe was infinitesimally small, the update was almost instantaneous, so near infinite speed is possible.
