We can see things moving faster than light

My grasp of physics is not too good. But I always had the idea that the expansion of the universe and simultaneous having no border (and other phenomena) could be visualized by using the (2 dimensional) analogy of a balloon which is expanding – this also would solve the apparent paradox that every point is in some way the center of the universe….   As I said: I'm not a physics guy. Does anything of what I said make any sense?
