The pic above is of a galactic cluster that's 13.5 billion ly away.
How did we get here before light from this cluster did? Even given a few moments of hyper-expansion immediately after the Big Bang -- which may have given us a bit of a head start on the light -- how could all the mass in the Milky Way and beyond have gotten here before it, especially since, from "our" point of view, the light has been closing the gap at c, and started closing the gap 13.5 billion years ago when the universe was much smaller than it is today?
I'll believe what you say. But I probably won't understand it because of a million bad assumptions on my part. :-)
