There is no relationship between the speed of light and the size of
the universe.  Perhaps you're thinking of the conventional explanation
of the Hubble effect (red shift vs. distance).

Seems to me we went over this topic a few months ago.  The speed of
light in the units I normally work in is precisely 1.  This is not a
dirty trick but is permissible since the velocity in question is more
fundamental than any time or distance standards, insofar as relativity
goes.
