i think if you read what most cosmologists say now you can get this answer. it doesn't have to be 26 billion light years away. it looks from the milky way that all other galaxies and matter are expanding away from us, as if we're the center. no one thinks we are, but if you were at that 13 billion light year away quasar it would look like the earth and milky are 13 billion light years away. maybe it makes sense if you think of it as sitting still and casting that light 13 billion years ago. it would just now hit us and our light just now hitting. does that make sense? i hope so. if not please say why. uhhh. think of the earth sitting still and after 13 billion years of travel this thing becomes a quasar and emits its light toward us. maybe you can think of the center of the universe as being everywhere (carl sagan thought this). then imagine both of us (the milky way and the quasar) as sitting still 13 billion light years apart. ok i'm confusing myself, this is tough. if that makes sense, great, if not i need help now too.
