1. It is gererally accepted that the age of the universe is 12-15 billion years old. 2. It is generally accepted that the Big Bang occured 12-15 billion years ago. Paradox: The light we are seeing from the most distant objects left the position we now see them in some 12-15 billion years AGO. Yet, 12-15 billion years ago they should have been in or near the point of the big bang. |

Agreed. It's more correct to think of this light as being the limits of our current detection ability - or the point at which the signal has degraded beyond our ability to recognise it. The universe is infinte. See also the link below. http://artofhacking.com/cgi-bin/wwfs/wwfs.cgi?AREA=13630&FILE=GRVSPEED.TXT |
