Are the furthest stars grouped as your would expect with the big bang?

Question

Based on the proposition that the further into space we peer, the further back in time we peer;
should not the furthest stars be closely grouped towards the beginning of the universe i.e. the big bang?

If they are grouped, I would expect to see a cone of stars pointing towrds the origin of the big bang

Answer 1

This is a picture of how the matter is distributed across the universe. It's like a spiderweb with clumps here and there.

The big bang didn't start in one spot either, matter appeared all over the universe at the same time, the expansion is the stretching of space pulling everything along with it.

Here is a page that explains that.

Because if this things I'm beginning to believe in the idea of membranes colliding with each other more and more because it does explain it better.

Answer 2

Even if your theory were correct. The cone of stars was pointing at the time of when stars and galaxies were formed. They were not formed immediately after the Big Bang. The gap was millions years in which there were no stars and galaxies.
The second opinion came from the website that Sean gave us.
The origin is everywhere. I found that it was hard to understand.
But it made sense.
So, the furthest stars you looked at, were not the origin of universe.

Answer 3

we are peering back in time yes - but not that far ( the stars we can see support the THEORY of the big bang -in fact their location and distribution is one of the reasons that the theory is considered viable )

Answer 4

you have to see the big bang as if you are watching a bomb go off, only we are in the boom...so the big bang is all around us. only someone outside our own universe could see the origin....the point there it all began. we are in it and so our perception is altered.

Answer 5

Not necessarily, the oldest stars may have gone nova, been eaten by black holes, etc...

Answer 6

I believe so, yes.
