In the Known Universe, Photons of Light, 186,000 Miles Per Second.

Sure enough, a photon (a particle of light) is the fastest THING in the universe, but not everyone would say light is an object. But since the universe is expanding away from the point where it was at the time of the Big Bang, and since its outermost parts --that is, the parts farthest from its origin-- since those parts are moving the fastest, then the fastest object in the universe would be whatever object is farthest from that point of origin, no matter what that object is made of

Well, technically a photon of electromagnetic radiation is the fastest moving "thing". But if you define an "object" as something with mass, then a photon is not the answer. A photon is a quanta of radiation or energy, it has no mass at all. That is why it is the only "thing" that can move at the speed of light.
I would have to offer as a suggestion that particles, such as electrons, or neutrons, blown away through space from something like a super nova move close to the speed of light so maybe those are your fastest "objects".

A teacher once asked his class of grade school students what the fastest thing in the universe was. After much debate and discussion it was agreed that thought was the fastest thing in the universe, even faster than light because you can think of a place and think of yourself there instantaneously. One student disagreed however and insisted that thought was not the fastest thing in the universe. When the teacher and other students asked why the student explained that **** was the fastest thing in the universe,because he once **** his pants before he thought.

A raccoon shot 36 times with a bb gun is the fastest object in the universe. I know this because it ran a quarter mile and bit me 14 times in the arms, all this in under 4 seconds.

Nothing can travel faster than "Light" 300,000,000 Meters/second.
There was man named Fisk:
Whose Fencing was exceedingly brisk.
Because of his action, the Fitzgerald Contraction, changed his Rapier to a Disc.
Just though I would through that one in for added interest.

First: define "object". If you include waves as objects: definitely light waves are the fastest.

Fastest *object* would be a photon which travels at the speed of light. 30,000 km/s

My money would be on a particle called a neutrino. They have a tiny (I mean REALLY tiny mass) and zip along at just under the speed of light.
