How can something appear 13 billion light years away, if the universe is only 15 billion years old? If it and us are on opposite sides of the center of the big bang, wouldn't we both have to be travelling nearly half the speed of light?

Who said we were on the edge of the universe? Of course, that implies you believe there is an edge!

To me, that's like saying what number equals infinity?
