Turn on your local news and see.Amazing! That's what 13 billion years ago looks like. I wonder what it looks like now.

You are joking right? At the rate man is currently burning out this planet and our species we will never come remotely close to a billion years.Seriously, as far as we know we are the billion years ahead of all other life forms version... Even scarier huh!?
whad iz dat big word like marmalade dereAnthropocentrism much?
Not that I disagree with you."Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack," Carl Sagan.
I am NOT making any kind of religious argument. But hey, if you or anyone else
finally locates the speculative beginning, or ending please let me know.
I have a feeling I will be waiting for an infinitely looooooooooooooooong time.
"Some members of the human race actually devote their lives to understanding the universe, like the people who designed and built the Webb Space Telescope. The culmination of 20 years of planning, Webb is essentially a six meter wide mirror made of gold-covered beryllium shielded by a tennis-court sized sunshield. All that was folded up like origami into the nose cone of an Ariane 5 rocket, which was then blasted into space. The rocket dropped the unconstructed telescope at Lagrange point 2, a specific spot in space four times further away from earth than the moon. There, the Webb Telescope unfolded itself so it could collect infrared light that lets us see galaxies as they existed just after the Big Bang.
I had a hard time putting together my desk from Ikea."

Gene Roddenberry stated he simply side-stepped this whole issue in order to just tell stories and get on with things. Similarly, he said that's why 99.999% of all the aliens the Enterprise met all spoke English. He also did say the concept of the 'warp drive' was related to avoiding time dilation though, in that it warped space and shrunk the distance between the two points thus neatly sidestepping relativity in a way, but he never overthought any of that at all. Wormholes and folding space also 'explain' the lack of time dilation in some sci-fi whilst traveling across the galaxy.
I would suggest it's perhaps a little more than speculation at this point, mainly because some of the top government guys are talking about bending time and space

We are not looking back at the beginning of the big bang.
And with the assumption of a expanding universe based off our perception of the size of the universe, is also a fallacy for the same reasons.
There could have been a big bang, but it would be at a much bigger scale beyond our perception and view of the universe, that we could not gather clear analysis from that relm.
It's not quite as straight forward as that, certainly a lot of research is going in to it both in the public domain and top secret. The folks I'm referring to are guys who all worked on secret government projects and have have now left to work for themselves or others, Hal Puthoff, Eric Davies, Chris Mellon, Lue Elizondo - Mellon and Elizondo are not scientists but they did have high level clearances, Elizondo in particular ran the DOD's UFO investigation team in recent years (oh yes, they did have one of those), and he was privy to all of the secret programs so he's highly qualified to speak about this. It's not a case of nobody should say anything, you really need to follow this story to see how things have changed since 2017 when the Pentagon UFO footage was leaked to the New York Times. Not all of this stuff is classified so it can be spoken about."Top government guys?" Who would those be? This kind of science is usually funded by government grants to researchers, who then do their science and publish papers to document what they've done and build their reputations. So unless the research is secret (in which case nobody should have said anything about it), there should be published papers, which I'd be most eager to see.
It's a strange feeling!
Creator!?No, you can't. Because if there is no big bang, there is no creator. And therefore they wont say that. But..... someone else will perhaps.... unless there is rules against that. The telescope is a joint venture of many countries that will share it. Europe might look in the right places. Atheism is big there.
