Scientists say telescopes can see a galaxy 13.26 billion light-years away. That is only in one direction. If we point the telescopes in the opposite direction, we can see galaxies from another 13 billion light years away. Those two sightings add up to 26 billion light years. None of the scientist’s math adds up.
If it’s 13 billion years in both directions, that means we are at the center of the universe, which is probably not true.
What this really says is 13 billion years is a far as their telescopes can see.
