Default Re: Ask Gugel Anything About the Big Bang

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_horizon


[/ QUOTE ]
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.
