The Big Bang occured in one place billions of years ago, but how did we get here before the light did?
We hear every day that Scientists are seeing stars that are very very old (billions of years old), and that they're seeing into what existed close to the Big Bang. If our solar system was part of that Big Bang, how did we get here before the light from that star did.
Does our galaxy travel in the opposite direction so close to the speed of light that it's taken light billions of years for that light to catch up with us?
