Or did we somehow get out here by traveling faster than the speed of light and now we have somehow slowed down, so that the light from the Big Bang 13 billion years ago is just now able to finally catch up to us so that we can see it finally. Neither of these makes any sense. If we are basing the BB theory on the straight line comparison of galaxies twice as far away in one direction are twice as red shifted, that is all well and good, but because we are spinning around out galactic center that further galaxy that we are using in the comparison is/was actually in a completely different direction at the time the light left it maybe even from the opposite direction. How does that mesh in any way with the notion that everything can be shrunk back in a straight line model to a common point of origin?
