Was the entire universe created by the Big Bang, or is the space/time generated by the Big Bang part of a larger universe? [more inside]

I'm looking for a sweatshirt that the character Penny (Kaley Cuoco) wears in the last episode of the first season, "The Tangerine Factor." It's yellow and orange, with fairly intricate designs. Seen here. Any ideas?

Okay all you astronomers, I just asked this is an older MeFi thread but figured I might get a better response here.

Go back to the big bang and you start off with a single point that exploded and has kept on expanding. So when you look back in time by way of observing distant places would you not end up looking at exactly the same place (the point) no matter which direction you looked?
