1. From the direction and rate of the expansion of space (and the
cosmic background radiation) do they know where the Big Bang's
occured?
There is no center to the expansion of space.
First they said it was slowing down, now I think is it's faster.
Why isn't there a center....you mean all around earth everything is
moving farther apart?
2. If they know where and with the speed of light, they would also
know when?
Yes, we know when.
3. Knowing when it occured and also with the speed of light they would
know what is the farthest possible distance to find energy(radiation)
or farthest possible planet/star (distance from the big bang)?
No. The expansion can be faster than the speed of light. The speed of
light is the maximal velocity of anything *through* space, but does
not restrict the rate of expansion of space itself. There is a nice
article in Scientific American, Feb or Mar of 2006, on Big Bang
Misconceptions, which you can find in the local public library. That
one article will answer all of the above questions.
