I probably don't phrase it clearly but here 'tis again for some feed back? At the BIG BANG moment everything started expanding and I understand the universe is flat. That should mean we are all opening from the start and how, then, can we look back and see that moment? Relative motion? The Cosmic Wave Background signals picked up tell me that we can see that big bang moment but how? Another Q is about photons and having any mass. If there is mass, then how can they go from zero speed to the speed of light instantly? Photons are affected by large celestial bodies indicating magnetism/mass? Wave energy and string theory connection? John Derr I enjoyed Sean’s 24-lesson Course from THE GREAT COURSES on Dark Matter, Dark energy and even tried this question on him.
