From data extracted
within our small portion of the observable universe, the conjecture is that the universe has been expanding about 13.7 billion years. The size of the observable universe is calculated upon the comoving
distance (or current proper cosmological distance) to particles from the CosmicMicrowave
Background Radiation (CMBR), which encompasses a fourth dimensional area with a diameter of about 28 billion parsecs (or about 93 billion light years). Therefore, presupposing a universal centricity, it can then be said that the observable universe has expanded about 14.3 billion parsecs (or about 46.6 billion light years).
Note: As the term "far" implies distance, this is an unknowable quantity for the actual universe at large. The actual universe has been evolving and expanding from the considered condition of a singularity toward an unfolding of the SpaceTime
continuum. The reality of our existence is based within a traditional fourth dimensional perspective of the observable universe, and it is unknown if this unfolding of the SpaceTime
continuum is farther along than we are able to perceive.

The most recognized model of how the universe began is the Big Bang theory. This theory proposes that the universe expanded from a very high-density and high-temperature state approximately 13.8 billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since.
If the Big Bang never took place, the universe as we know it would not exist. The universe began as a singularity and expanded rapidly from that point. Without this event, there would be no galaxies, stars, planets, or life as we know it.
The big bang began the expansion of spacetime with great rapidity. The Universe began with the Big Bang. In other words both space and time began at the big bang. The big bang started the Universe from the point t=0.

The Universe was at 3000 degrees K at conception, and since then, the universe has expanded by a factor of 1000. The latest revised temperature is at 3 degrees K.

In the current model of the universe the big bang was the 1st thing to happen in the universe since time itself was created in the big bang.

That it expanded, and still is expanding, from an extremely dense and hot state.
All the energy that is now in the Universe was there since the time the Universe started - that is, since the Big Bang.
The matter that existed since the Big Bang is expanding. A few decades ago, a "steady-state" theory was popular; according to it, matter was created as the Universe expanded, thus maintaining the matter density in the Universe constant. However, observational evidence did not support this theory.The matter that existed since the Big Bang is expanding.

It is "The Big Bang Theory."
As the universe expanded (and continues to expand) per the Big Bang theory, matter and energy also expanded or could be said to have been distributed or scattered from its initial state, although not in a perfectly uniform fashion, leading to the large scale structures in the universe visible today. Advanced theories indicate that intrinsic properties of the universe also began to expand, such as space itself.
