As hard as it is to believe, but the universe is a beast of its own. Relativity only says that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light, but there is no known restriction on how fast can the universe expand.
"According to the theory of
inflation, the Universe grew by a factor of 10 to the sixtieth power in
less than 10 to the negative thirty seconds, so the "edges" of the
Universe were expanding away from each other faster than the speed of
light; however, as long as those edges can't see each other (which is
what we always assume), there is no physical law that forbids it. "
