If by some miracle I might be on to something, perhaps you could tell
me where to go in order to further the idea.
This idea is based on Lorentz space-time. Let us suppose for a second
that the force of the big bang was sufficient to throw all mater in
the universe outwards at speeds of approximately
999,999,999/1,000,000,000c(this is a number I’m estimating in my head
the actual number might be considerably different).


The Big Bang was not an explosion of matter into space.
It was an explosion (creation) of space itself, the radiation
and matter just went along for the ride.

During what is called the inflation era, space expanded at
such a rate that regions separated at many, many times
the speed of light.

To a traveler
moving at these speeds time would dilate to somewhere around
500,000,000yrs for the traveling inertial frame, for every second, of
the rest inertial frame.


What rest frame? The Big Bang occurred *everywhere* at once.
There is no rest frame that the "explosion" occurred in.
In other words, every observer at every location throughout
the universe can view themselves as being at rest at the
center of the universe (more or less, ignoring local velocities
due to gravitational interactions amongst local constituents).
