Almost??

How about this then: We can currently observe galaxies that are an estimated 13-14 BILLION light-years distant!

That’s 13-14 billion TIMES 5.9 trillion (miles away), in ANY direction!! And scientists say all of this was once contained within a volume of space trillions of times smaller than the nucleus of an atom.

My brain just shorted out, and it's all your fault. :-)

For some reason, your post reminded me of William Blake's 'Auguries of Innocence':

'To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour'
