Why does inflation making space expand faster than the speed of light change the constants? No particle or energy travelled faster than light. Just space expanded smoothly such that, over a sufficient distance, the rate of change of that distance exceeded C. Nothing to trouble relativity in that fact: geometry changed, but nothing moved to fast. In fact, it is still the case: if the Hubble expansion is uniform, as it appears to be, at some distance the rate of recession must exceed C; there are objects which we will never see, because light cannot cross the ever-expanding gulf between us.
