Part I
If the Big Bang singularity was the point of origin for all matter and space, it must have had some definable location relative to the spatial manifold observed today. The standard answer is that the singularity was everywhere: every point in today's universe, including the observable universe's current edge roughly 47 billion light years from Earth, was once coincident with it. But if the singularity existed at that edge too, then from that edge space must extend a further 47 billion light years outward, immediately placing us beyond the supposed boundary. Move to that new edge and the same logic applies again, without limit, at every step. "The singularity was everywhere" is logically equivalent to "the universe is infinite," a conclusion that directly contradicts the finite-origin premise the Big Bang model is built on [P5].
