Default Re: Ask Gugel Anything About the Big Bang

I think that's why he used "horizon" in quotes. Is this
link pertinent?

It doesn't matter what punctuation he surrounded horizon with. There is no cosmological horizon 14 billion light years away.

The link is pertinent. The value for conformal time is ~47 billion years. The particle horizon is 47 billion light years distant.

I agree there are some misconceptions as stated in the
"Misconceptions" section of the following link:

You can't be agreeing with me: I didn't say misconception. I said "completely wrong" and "rubbish". The 14 billion light year horizon is both.
