If monkeys are our closest relative, what is our most distant relative? Is there even any way to figure that out?

What proof do we have that light has a speed limit? How are we sure it is massless and not just so small we can't measure it?

There is an edge to the observable universe b/c even though matter can't travel faster than light, matter can expand away from itself faster than light. But since position is relative, shouldn't that mean that from the perspective of one piece of matter, the other is traveling faster than light?
