The Big Bang didn’t just occur at one point in space. It occurred everywhere, because the Big Bang is creating space as the universe expands. Furthermore, the farther you look into space, the farther back in time you’re also looking, because light from that space takes time to reach us. When you look at the Andromeda galaxy which is 2.5 million light years away, you’re looking 2.5 million years in the past. When we look 13 billion light years away, we’re seeing 13 billion years into the past, when the universe was only 1 billion years old.

what does it mean to talk about the universe expanding if the big bang occurred everywhere? How big was the universe when the big bang occurred?

If the Universe was 9 billion light years wide at the big bang and earth popped into existence 3 billion years ago at one edge Then may be we could be seeing light from 13.0 billion years ago that was generated at the far edge of the 9 billion light year wide big bang.

Q Continuum still seems more likely
