"Due to the phenomenon of the Universe expanding, GNz7q – in whatever ultimate, supermassive form it now takes – would be about twice as far away from us today, at a distance of around 25 billion light-years."

Therein lies the paradox of the Big Bang Theory, the BBT. According to the BBT, the universe is some 13.7 billion years old, give or take a couple of tenths of a billion years. So then, how did the light from GNz7q, travelling at one light-year per year get to us from 25 billion light years away in 13.7 years?

Well, according to the BBT, very early on, the universe simply "expanded", at well beyond the speed of light, to the size at which it is now. Huh? The scientists are saying that it simply violated the laws of science. You must have faith!

Not a problem.

The light you see NOW is where it was THEN, 13.7 billion years ago.

We cannot see it it where it is NOW, which is about 25 Billion light years away............

‘Fire gleaming in the night!
What a welcome sight! Light of a new day—
you’ll bring on many dancing choruses
right here in Argos, celebrations
of this joyful news.’

And you are telling us this is where Covid-19 originated? /s
Actually, while a slightly interesting article, most conspiracy theories have more actual evidence.

When will black holes be found to be racist?

So then, how did we get 11.3 billion (25-13.7) light-years away from it at that time?

Already happened.
Some BLM snowflakes demanded that the name ‘Black Holes’ be changed to something else................

We weren't. The Milky Way Galaxy was still in its formative years, and stars yet to be born and subsequently die and be reborn a few cycles before becoming Sol and its retinue of planets and comets and asteroids. The mass of the MW galaxy was much, much closer to the original Big Bang as was this GNz7q object, and as such was much closer to us. Both we and it are moving away from each other and the BB central location, but not at the speed of light.................
