Has anyone come across a resolution concerning temporal consequences of cosmic inflation making the universe expand faster than the speed of light? i.e., if the universe's outer boundary is moving that fast, then it can travel backward in time, causing an implosion, a duplication of all matter, and massive temperature/density increase until the inflationary period ended.

Which might not be a bad thing, as it would increase information transfer between the universe's parts, but has this been addressed at all?

Apparently there is no temporal consequence from SR, since relativistic time reversal only applies to things moving through space but not the expansion of space itself.
