I think the real question is that if we interpolate that age of the universe is ~14B years from the 14B light years of distance from Earth to the CMB (the CMB gives the time at which the universe became cool enough for atoms to form and allow photons to move on straight lines without getting mixed up in the plasma. Telescopes don't work for times earlier than the CMB because photons weren't moving in straight lines before the universe was cool enough for atoms to form), then how are two opposite points in the CMB in thermal equilibrium? If the universe is 14B years old, then no signal in the universe could have traveled more than 14B light years as of the time of this post in 2019, but our data shows that points in the CMB separated by 28B light years are thermal equilibrium which implies that signals int he universe has propagated across at least 28B light yeas, which would be impossible if the universe was only 14B yo.
btw, if the CMB to the left of Earth id 14B light years away, and the CMB to the right of Earth of Earth is also 14B light years away, then those two points are separated by 28B light years.
I do a pretty exposition on this stuff in section 4.1 of my book:
