From an observer's point of view all the oldest gallaxies are distributed in the "surface" of a sphere of radius 13.5BLY, that surface IS the center of the Big Bang, the past, and the center of "now" is the point of the observer. Isn't this mind-warping?

Specifically, Wisconsin is the center. ;-)

The way to reconcile this paradox is that every person experiences the same thing, wherever they are located in the universe, but each person sees a different surface.

Best explanation of "the center of the big bang is the past" I've seen, bravo.
