Shells of Cosmic Time (ft. @AstroKatie)

The video explores how we perceive objects in the past due to the time light takes to reach us. It discusses viewing celestial bodies like the sun, Alpha Centauri, and Andromeda galaxy as they were in the past. With telescopes, we can see galaxies from over 13 billion years ago, witnessing the universe's early stages. The most distant parts of the cosmos reveal the final stages of the Big Bang, filled with plasma. We are at the center of our perception, surrounded by layers of cosmic time, with the cosmic microwave background as the most distant layer.

What does the phrase 'we are not the center of the universe' imply about our perception?

Explain the concept of being embedded in layers of cosmic time.
