If you said “with the Big Bang,” congratulations: that was our best answer as of ~1979. Here’s what we’ve learned in all the time since.

    Is there any part of our universe where this inflationary region is visible? Even if it’s too far for us to ever reach, I’m just curious what the edge of our universe is like and what we would see beyond it.

      No. Our observable universe would be way to small to be connected to the inflationary region. Also, the inflationary universe probably doesn’t have any of our particles so it would not have any light photons. It would probably just look like a mysterious dark area to us.
