You are at the start point of the big bang! Really.
So is someone in the next galaxy over...and so is someone 500 Billion light years in any direction...
Remember, the Big Bang was not an "explosion" or "bomb" in the sense we're used to. An explosion is a rapid expansion of *matter* into *pre-existing space*.
The Big Bang is a rapid expansion of *space itself*.
So, there is no center to the Universe; every point in space now was once "at" the Big Bang, and there is nothing that makes any particular point "special".

If you could buy an infinitely elastic rubber balloon as small as the period punctuating a sentence then inflate it to be as big as a room, you would have one model of the universe. If you then put an "x" on the inflated balloon and said "I am here" you would be at the original Big Bang location of that point and the universe would look like it does today. If you could find the original location of all the points on the balloon (the singularity) perhaps you would be in the ultimate solarium. Just imagine.

Well, I took astronomy, so I know this. However, it's recent, not resent. When the universe started, it was a burst of energy. At 10 to the -43 seconds, it was the start of physics laws, such as e=mc square. Gravity started working. At four seconds all protons, neutrons, and electrons formed. Then it cooled. By two minutes, protons and neutrons became deuterium and heavy hydrogen. Then it cooled. By three minutes, Helium had formed. More cooling. By thirty minutes, 25% Helium electrons still free, 75% Helium. Still more cooling. At 300,000 years, electrons captured by nuclei, and atoms were 3000 degrees Kelvin. More cooling. At 300,000-1 million years, universe no longer opaque to us. At recombination point, transparent light comes to us from that point, and COBE. (Hey, I didn't get an A in Astronomy for no reason!)

To put it short, NO. The only way to travel to the point is when the Universe collapses back into its self. Right now the universe is still expanding.

U'll not be able to see any star b/c at that time everything must have been either undifferentiated mass or clouds of gases. Stars will still take a lot of time to be formed by condensation of these gases.

Let me answer this with a question.
If the big bang sent all this into motion then is it not possible that the area that happened in tore a hole in the fabric of space and is the mother of all black holes?
That must have been one helluva boom, and I bet it made a monster hole.

the big bang is just the creation of heaven and earth not space and time.

you will probably see nothing , the first stars were created millions of years after the BB.

The concept is like a bomb. Just imagine when the nuclear weapon explode at you and you cannot die, what will you see?

yeah right before it all collides and implodes, forming new stars and planets :)
