For light from the Big Bang to just now be reaching us, wouldn't that mean that the Earth and our solar system had to get here (from the point of the Big Bang) much faster than the speed of light? As far as I can imagine, light from the Big Bang passed us on the way here in the first instant after the event, right? Or, is it possible that we weren't part of the Big Bang, and therefore CAN see the light from the event?
