What was there before the beginning of the universe? Did time start with its beginning? Can something come from nothing? But if there was something, then it really wasn't the beginning, now was it?
Science don't fail me!
The universe didn't begin the way we understand the concept of "start." As with reality, the light bulb is on or off, when it's off there is nothing and when it's on light fills every space. Past, present and future. All at once.
Is this a wild guess or is there solid scientific evidence to substantiate this? SHOW ME YOUR PROCESS!

However the science channel show on light said that the hubble deep field telescope pictures taken in 2004 went back 30 billion years and then he stated that that was nearly three times as old as the Earth...
That was likely talking about detecting something that was 30 billion light years away from Earth. Which is possible thanks to the expansion of space over time. 
You mean as in the universe expanding faster and faster? Doesn't that violate E=MC^2?

No it doesn't. There's just more space-time between two points than there used to be yesterday.

I guess I'm just not understanding that part well enough, it would seem that something would have to violate that law for things to be farther out than the age of the known universe or were able to at some point to exceed the natural speed of light in order to make that leap.
I know it's possible to alter the speed of light I just don't understand how the math here is working.
