im not too sure what youre trying to say, but by saying it is 14 billion light years away means it takes 14 billion years for the light to reach us here. since the universe is 14 billion years old, that means we are seeing the start of the universe. any light beyond that 14 billion light year point is light we cannot see, because that light hasnt reached us yet.

It seems I have pulled the trigger prematurely, and responded to a different thread when it has already been covered here. I would like to just posit my observation noted in the new thread, Here.

I unwittingly found a discrepancy in the interactive graphic. For the lazy I will redescribe my finding here. Scale to the red blood cell, while blood cell, mist droplet. The scale given around there states that 25 micrometers = 0.25 millimeters which is false. 25 micrometers = 0.025 millimeters. I personally believe it to be a typo since the relative scale STILL seems to be fairly accurate around that narrow band. None the less, either double-think the scales presented, or take this video with a grain of salt.
