Ask Ethan: Where are we located relative to the Big Bang?

If you think of the Big Bang as an explosion, we can trace it back to a single point-of-origin. But what if it happened everywhere at once?

🚀✨ Did you know the term "Big Bang" can be misleading? It sounds like an explosion 💥, but it was actually the rapid expansion of space itself! 🌀 The universe didn’t "explode" from a single point—it stretched out everywhere at once 🌌. So, think of it more like a balloon 🎈 expanding than a firework! 🎆
Fun fact: The name "Big Bang" was coined sarcastically by astronomer Fred Hoyle 😅, but it stuck! 🧐
