>>12146163Technically, you are the edge of the universe.
You are the youngest part of the observable universe. Everywhere else you look is slightly older than where you are. Andromeda is a million years behind. The Moon is a second behind. YOU are on the edge.
If you meant like trying to reach the CMB source like in the show Stargate Universe, then no. Because if you traveled there, the CMB that you see would age until it looked like the regular universe, then there would be another CMB source billions of light years away and you made no progress. This would happen even if you had FTL travel (I think) because once you get there, you start seeing the light that's billions of years older than the light you see from here. That location has its own CMB source even "now".
This might be wrong though since McCulloch's observer-dependent cosmological model seems likely to be true. It states that the CMB isn't actually real, it's just that the observer hasn't received enough quantum information about the CMB yet for that CMB to evolve into galaxies, etc. This observer-dependence when looking back in time would mean that int he case of FTL you actually WOULD be able to go see the CMB up close. I actually like this model.
