Well, I suppose anything could be happening at the time of the big bang. :)
Our physics may not apply at the moment of creation. I doubt that any
protons at all existed at the big bang instant. After inflation ended,
matter and antimatter almost annihilated each other leaving only our
universe of normal matter. So protons didn't exist until 0.0001
seconds after the big bang when inflation had ended and the universe
had cooled down a bit.

More thoughts .....
As protons increase in speed they also increase in mass towards
infinite mass and this stops them from exceeding the speed of light.
Or, an alternative phrasing is that to make protons exceed the speed
of light you need a force acting on them that also exceeds the speed
of light.
I doubt that heating protons up would make them exceed the speed of
light. If you assume the almost infinite heat of creation, then you
also have to assume that protons could exist under those conditions.

Dark matter is clustered around galaxies. It is the galaxies that form
gigantic filaments. So why are FTL particles static and clustered
around galaxies? They should be zipping through our normal universe
regardless of what is in our universe. These space-noodles don't hang
about!  :)
