Hello to all,
Just a question that perplexes me and i wonder if anyone can shed some light (years). My question arises when astronomers say they can see so far with a telescope they can see a time just after the big bang. I understand that every light year you can see is a year into the past and if you are looking at something billions of light years away then the image is billions of years old but is our world/galaxy, our flesh and blood not a result of the big bang? So, we have travelled physically through space from the origin of the big bang since the big bang. In that case, how can light be just 'catching up' with us now? And, what direction are they looking in? It seems the big bang happened all around us and we are hurtling towards the centre of the universe, but thats another question - they don't end, do they?
