does that mean, theoretically, that someone could see me 25 years ago when I still looked good :)
In the beginning. So close to creation. Amazing!
I think they’re going to find objects much farther away than this, once the James Webb Space Telescope is up and running (around 2018/2019). With its ability to see far into the infrared, I think they’re going to find out that they really have no idea how big, and how old, the universe really is.
For some reason my gut feeling is that these calculations of distances in the universe are way off. I’ve no evidence it’s just something nagging in the back of my mind. With all that missing matter and our incomplete knowledge of things certainty is uncertain.

Oh wait, we can explain that by the fact that during the Big Bang "expansion", the laws of physics didn't apply after all. That explains everything. Then, what laws did apply?
All CGI.
They keep changing the earliest time when galaxies formed to match their latest unexpected observation.
When the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravity were all one force, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light. This was because there was no such thing as light.
Now nothing can go faster than light. Which means, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If you could get the band back together you can do whatever you want.
I’m not a scientist but I have the mind of a comic book scientist genius and a comic genius.
By the way. I’m pretty sure Google put the Riddler out of work.
They say the universe has been expanding since the “Big Bang”. So why when we look at objects from just after the “Big Bang “ are they so far away?
Seems to be more theory than proof in this article and graphic.
So far, when we build a stronger telescope, we just find more of the same, and haven’t begun to find an indicator of the edge of the universe.
