I've asked this twice before and have done some reading, but I keep ending up with what I guess is faulty logic on my part.
The edge of the visible universe is +- 14 billion LY distant.
It took the light we're seeing 14 billion years to get here.
Here's where I run into trouble. The light left those galaxies 14billon years ago when they were at a distance of 14 billion LY.
During that 14 billion years, haven’t the galaxies continued to travel outward from that point we are seeing today making the actual universe much larger than the visible one?
I read one explanation that said time didn't exist until some 'time' after the big bang (implying early expansion was instantaneous)
Anyone?
