New member's question: where was the Big Bang?

[smichy]

Here we go...this one has bugged me since I was a kid, and it seems to prove that space is curved (in a simplistic way).

I am in the UK and have a very VERY powerful telescope. I point it straight up from my home in London and I can see so far away and so far back in time time that I can see the Big Bang!

I have a twin brother(or sister - sorry!) who
 lives on the other side of the world in Australia. He (or she) has the same make of telescope and points it straight up....they see the Big Bang too!

How can there be two Big Bangs?

There's only one, but it is everywhere .

Smichy,
  Engaaraa is correct, the evidence for the Big Bang is in every direction you look at in the sky in the form of the 2.7 degree kelvin microwave background radiation. Q8)

But it's a SINGULARITY!!!!


Arrrrrrgh! My head hurts!


I see what you mean - it's singularly everywhere! Or was.
