Scientist estimate the age of the universe to be approx 12-15 billion years old (depending on what the latest estimates are). They say they can see to within a second of the big bang by using the hubble to look at things 12-15 billion light years away. My question is, if it takes 12-15 billion years for the light from these objects to get here, and no object can travel more than the speed of light, and all objects started out at one point (the singularity) shouldn't it have taken at lease 12-15 billion years for the objects to get that far away in the first place?
