I have looked at this forum for over a year. One thing that has always confused me is spatial direction in space. Thinking in terms of the balloon model: what represents the part in front/beyond if we are on the edge looking out. If we are looking out why can't we "turn around" and see the other way. I understand that when the balloon first starts expanding this is t-0 and representive of the big bang. Space is 3 dimensional why can't we see in front of us, or is this where time/speed of light is involved. Is there no real spatial model that can depict this? In the balloon model I feel we should be able to see beyond the outer latex(if we are indeed a fixated galaxy representive of a coin) and not just distant light from our past. We do a 360 rotation in space and see all parts of our galaxy from any point on the earth, what's representive of top, bottom, edge, or is there no such thing? Is this all to do with the speed of light? Please tie up my loose ends and confusion. I have the classic biology mindset, some of this hard for me to visualize.
