Ok, I am not doubting the Big Bang.  I figure something happened to get this universe here.  Whatever it is, I have no clue.  But statements like these make me wonder about the scientist that pretend to know.

The galaxy, named IOK-1, is so far away that the light waves that reached Earth depict it as the system of stars existed shortly after the Big Bang created the universe 13.66 billion years ago.

Ok, let's look at this logically.  For that Galaxy to be shining its light on us now, means that at the time of the big bang, this galaxy was instantaneous blown 13.66 billion light years away from that galaxy.  And as we are not on the edge of the universe (we see stars in all directions) some were blown even farther.  So there is a Galacy out there that was blown 27 billion light years from the point of origin. Instantaneously.

How?

Lets assume we're moving 99.999% the speed of light. That means the image only gains .001% at a time (rating of an hour I'd assume) so then you have to figure out how much time it would take to travel those 800,000,000 years worth of miles seperating the two planets....

Yep, count me as one of those who don't have a clue. All I know is the galaxy has been around a bloody long time.

Aye, and my children remind me that I knew her when she was young.
