I'm NOT interested by the CMB, what we measure is it's temperature and it glows everywhere; what I'm interested is that I read that we can actually see galaxies from very near the time of the big bang, and that we can see them clearly enough to be able to tell they they are " primitive ", that they didn't have the time to form structures such as spirals for example, this is not the diffuse light of the CMB but light from a very precise point in space and time, the thing I don't understand is how those photons didn't get passed us since they are faster than us, given that everything came from the same point ( if everything is moving away, reversing the time arrow, implies that everything came from the same point ).
