“meaning the entire “Big Bang” paradigm is just flat out wrong

What?! You don’t believe in SCIENCE! It’s SETTLED!

“because the alternative is emotionally unacceptable”

Why?

This is because the Universe is a lot larger that the visible Universe. There was no Big Bang.

Meaning what? What’s on the outside of the known boundary? Yeah, think on that a while.

Nothingness. There is no outside, just nothingness.

I bought batteries once but they weren’t included.

“The James Webb Telescope (JWT) will pick up where/when Hubble leaves off”

The Webb Hubble Telescope? ... Can it discern the Origins of (Chelsea’s) Life?

The Universe is now 93B lightyears wide

I viewed this earlier today... interesting, and recommend if that is your thing:

If the universe is only 14 billion years old, how can it be 92 billion light years wide?

I’d be satisfied if Webb can merely discern origins of the Won’s life.

At first glance. I think the diagram should be reversed. Hubble and the galaxies we can readily see should be at the fringe of the expanding sphere while older stars/galaxies, etc., down to the Big Bang should be at the core.

...Unless these are the things Hubble observes no matter which direction it is pointed.

Unless is correct. So far, observations do not allow us to see the "edge" of the universe from any direction. It only appears that we are at the center because we are stuck at this observation point.

*** The James Webb Telescope (JWT) will pick up where/when Hubble leaves off. When fully operational, the JWT will be located approx. 1 million miles from earth. ***

Going to make it difficult for NASA to service that telescope when they discover somebody made a boo-boo — like entered incorrect contour grinding parameters into the high-tech lens grinder.

“In the Beginning, God....”

That’s enough said. Further theorizing is tail chasing.

“The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

When we were in high school, we use to ask a teacher if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into. They reacted with impatience.

In college, same question, same reaction.

I have read a few supposedly scientific explanations, but they don’t make sense.

Nothing can move through space faster than the speed of light. Space itself has no such speed limit. That’s why the universe is speculated to be 93BLY across after only 14B years.
