I mean if I drop a rock into a lake, its makes circles and the outermost circles are the oldest. Or if I blow something up, the furthest debris is the oldest.

Not an answer but my own layperson’s questions and check on my own understanding:
1. Is Einstein’s special and or general ToR the genesis of the Big Bang concept, in this scientifically accurate conceptualisation? Ie. there is no “centre”, even though others previously may have conceived a single “dot” “exploding” “into” space?
2. Is my idea that rather than a “dot” the Big Bang is more like an instantly appearing “universe loaf” that can be “sliced” into freeze-frame moments with all instances of everything having a place somewhere in the “loaf” and we are in it, and all freeze frame moments exist equally within it, even if we access (via “time” and “consciousness”) a few of those moment-slices? (Ref Brian Greene pop physics books, esp Fabric of the Universe.)
Thank you for helping me continue to try to grasp all this stuff that is quite simply humanity’s greatest achievement, why would any human not work to grasp this stuff, the payoff of closing in on understanding it is, well, infinite in its own right!
