      Kudos for using your real voice. I have followed your reporting for a while now.
      For the Luddite method of measuring the brightness... Either fix it or stop complaining about us "Boomers" that still talk in GPM and standard cubic feet per minute..... I am going to die before I am completely converted, but working in world wide places that MOSTLY are in the metric and decimal systems, I am upgrading my work to be flexible. And as a older fellow who has traditionally been slow to update simply for the conveniences of others. But reporting has been metric for some time in many of the countries I work in... (what was that movie phrase??? Resistance is futile!!)

    I am fortunate. I live fairly high up in the mountains of N. California and every night I sit outside, looking at the greatest of all mysteries and wonder about the what, the when & the how of it. Thanks to Dr. Sutter,my caveman brain can grasp it just a little better. I don't believe that everything can ever be known about the universe, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to know everything that I can about it.

    The rate of expansion far exceeding the speed of light and still accelerating might answer some questions I am noticing in the comments. This stuff is mind boggling and I am certainly no astro/theoretical physicist much less one like Einstein that could break these things down to simpler forms. In this case I need to trust those advanced in the field.

    If you entangle two particles and give one to someone at a distance, can you run yours through quantum computer gates to change the probability of your bit, so when they observe theirs it's a way to communicate? Or is quantum computing totally separate or something?

    What I don't understand is how the CMB can be visible in all directions, but it originated when the universe was much, much older (and therefore smaller). So... why did it take so long to get to us? Why didn't it reach us, and then pass us, by now? Conceptually it's very difficult. Yes, the standard response is "Inflation!" But why can't the answer be "Because the universe is older than 13.8 billion years?

      I could be wrong as I am no astrophysicist but could it have something to do with the expansion far exceeding the speed of light as the current theory suggests?

    If we're living in a holographic universe, would there be a definite "edge" of the cosmos? If so, wouldn't it make sense then to observe the Big Bang in all directions - this just being the emitted beam(s) of photons constructing reality from all directions at once?

      CMB wasn't created long after Big Bang, and we can measure age of CMB through redshift and Hubble constant. There can be some error but not "much much older".

      I know you understand and your explanation is excellent. 👌🏾
      I’d like to make a proposal to amend a couple of words but I think is important detail..
      To travel the full diameter of our Galaxy is 100,000 light years.
      So anything we see further than this is definitely outside our Galaxy which means ANY light we see.. millions or Billions of light years away is DEFINITELY other galaxies and definitely NOT STARS.
      Lights takes 8 minutes to reach us on earth from the Sun our star.
      The Sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles away.
      The nearest star to our sun is Proxima Centaur & light takes 4 years to reach us.
      For light to reach us from our nearest Galaxy Andromeda..
      The light takes 2,000,000 years to reach us here on earth.
      Speed of light c = 186,000 miles/sec or
      Approximately 300,000 Kilometres/sec
      Crazy to get your head around.
