Wow........... if you slide the slider across real fast it simiulates warp speed as in Star Trek

Apparently.

The Universe is a very big thing that contains a great number of planets and a great number of beings. It is Everything. What we live in. All around us. The lot. Not nothing. It is quite difficult to actually define what the Universe means, but fortunately the Guide doesn't worry about that and just gives us some useful information to live in it.

somebody talking about this, which contains "Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..."... the guide refers to this

If light is the fastest thing in the Universe, then we will never be able to see the edge of space. Sun light takes 8 minutes to reach us from the sun. We're looking for something that happened 4 billion years ago. It's likely quite expansive.

Hasn't CERN already provided hints that Speed of light might not be the absolute?

No. Some are blaming a loose cable.
