re: No matter what direction we point a telescope, we always look toward the Big Bang - why?

It's because you are looking back in time. Everything you see has already happened. We don't have telescopes yet that can see the future.

It's not back in time. It's across distances. It just takes a long time for the light to get here. His question is if the earth is not the center of the universe, why is there space 13 billion light years in all directions in a 13.8 billion year old universe.

Do we know in which direction we are heading? Can we know and look back at the spot of the proposed singularity?
Is the light emitted from stars that are farther down the path we are headed different in some manner from the light emitted from stars that trail us in our path?
