The universe is growing at a faster than expected pace
The universe is expanding faster than we thought - this according to a new and extremely precise measurement of the distance between the 19 distant galaxies made by the Hubble Space Telescope. The figures suggest that the rate at which the universe is expanding (known as the Hubble constant) is approximately 73 kilometers per second per megaparsec.
With the available words that can be thusly - space is expanding so rapidly that after 10 billion years distance between the Milky Way and the nearest galaxy will have more than doubled. The new value of the Hubble constant is 5 to 9% higher than previous estimates. The discovery, which will be reflected in detail in the next issue of The Astrophysical Journal, poses problem for cosmologists - this constant value does not correlate with data for expansion of the universe, energetic left as evidence of the Big Bang. Two specialized missions - NASA's WMAP and Planck at ESA are observed lower values of the Hubble constant by examining the residual radiation from the birth of our universe.
The discrepancy has yet to be independently verified, but if the data prove correct, it means that in the universe there are forces and processes that physicists still have no idea and are not taken into account concludes IDG.

i saw a video where someone was claiming that universe is expanding more than light of speed so we can't see far enough
It really is expanding faster than expected and future civilizations on Earth won't even be able to see that there is more to the Universe than the Local area, which we are situated in.
Think about it - eternal darkness will surround us. It is kind of sad.
