Why is there a normal galaxy sitting at the edge of the Universe?
All right hackernews. Genuine question, not sure where else to ask.<p>If galaxies and stars at the other “end” formed out of matter resulting from the big bang, just as the matter we are made of, how did we get here at the same time that that matter got there?<p>Is it because speeds faster than light are possible, and around the big bang all matter was spread near instantly at that speed? I don&#x27;t understand how matter of the same “kind” was spread throughout the universe all at the same time without traveling at speeds greater than the speed of light. Because if we watch the ”opposite” direction from where the big bang occurred we don&#x27;t really observe matter in a state closer to its original state, or parts of the universe in radically different states - which should result from that matter traveling further than the matter we are made of, as for us to now catchup with light that is “younger” than that towards the core of the universe. Am i missing something?
