Its interesting. The big bang was around 14billion years ago. If you have something 45billion light years away I think this possible cannot be matter created by the big bang. Am I right? If light is the fastest in our universe and the big bang started 14 billion years ago then that what is the farthest away from the big bang is 14billion light years ago or? However if the big bang is in the middle and we are 14billion light years eastwards from it and the dark matter 14billion lightyears westward from it than from us it could be 28billion lightyears. SO how can something be 45billion light years away ? Must be from another universe or another big bang? Maybe I totally mixed something up here let me know though.

It's what I do

Yes, no one is sure what it is. Some believe its another universe. !3.7 Billion light years is not only distance, but time too. Our universe is 13.7 billions light years old. If their calculations are correct, then our universe is young compared to whatever it is.

inflation
this was a time right after the big bang when space itself was expanding taking with it energy and matter that occupied this space. basically energy and matter was moving along with space at a faster-than-light speed yet slower-than-light relative velocity

and example would be if my top walking speed is 4 mph. but if i hop on a train that is moving in my direction, i can still 4 mph on the train, however my speed is not 4mph because the tain is moving at 50 mph. so now im actually moving at 54 mph well beyond my walking speed because the train is taking me with it.
the same idea occuring during the universe's inlfationary period
