The face of God.

Or, it could be the outer edges of a petri dish. ;>)

It is fun to wonder and dream.

It can be either a "reset" or "launch" button, depending on whether you're into cyclical or expanding-universe cosmology.

It was that far away 13.14 billion years ago. It ain’t there now. It took the light that long to get here, where we are now. If you could transcend time and space to go where it happened in an instant, there would be nothing at that location OR something that wasn’t there when it happened................

“It took the light that long to get here, where we are now. If you could transcend time and space to go where it happened in an instant, there would be nothing at that location OR something that wasn’t there when it happened...”

Wouldn’t that mess up time travel too? If I got in my machine, and went back a week in time, would I end up where the Earth was a week ago? That’d be a bummer, Dude!

Wrong. The most distant object in the universe is Obama’s ear - if you happen to be a non-Marxist.

Or... sane.

When this star exploded the universe was only 10% the size that it is now.

How did the earth get to where it’s at now 13 billion years before this Gamma radiation arrived?

When that star exploded, the earth did no exist. The solar system did not exist. The parent star that exploded that eventually gave us the debris that became our sun probably didn’t exist as probably it’s parent star didn’t yet exist, either. 13 billion years it took the gamma ray burst, traveling at the speed of light (which is very slow for such a big universe) to reach the spot where one day a planet full of life would observe it............
