Her-Crb Great Wall[edit]

Hi. I think your comment was right. In cosmology, there are at least four different distances. The most confusing is the comoving distance. Folks cannot understand how a distance could be 40 billion ly, but the Universe is only 14 billion year old. Therefore, from at least one point of view your comment is right. I believe, keeping your comment is useful. Deleting it we are loosing information. Please, change it if you want, but put back some part. Proref2 (talk) 16:14, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Hi. I'm the creator of the article of the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. Let me restate it to you—more strongly.

You may be confused with the light travel distance and present comoving distance. I will explain it simply. Light travel distance is the length where light first travels at the beginning of the universe. It means like this: When you created a hypothetical time machine and dated back to the Big Bang, then put out some laserbeam and shoot it out, after a 13.79 billion year waiting the first photon of the laserbeam was already 13.79 billion light years away. That is the light travel distance.

Present comoving distance is the distance where an object was currently it was after a 13.79 billion year expansion. Get it this way: Back to the laserbeam, it may have travelled 13.79 billion light years away from your position when you first emitted the light of the laserbeam. But according to Hubble's law, the universe is expanding. It may seem though as the laserbeam photon was moving away from you only. But the fact is you are also moving away from the laserbeam photon, and away to the point when you omitted the first light photon of the laserbeam. Your frame of reference tells that the laserbeam photon was moving away from you, and also does in the laserbeam photon when it was the frame of reference. After a 13.79 billion year time, together with the Hubble flow, will give you 46.5 billion light years. That is the comoving distance.

You might ask: "How can it be 46 billion light years? If the universe is expanding it must be 26 billion light years only, since nothing can be faster than light." But review again, Einstein's theories does not state anything. It says "Anything that curves spacetime and has mass will never achieve superluminal motion". But it was different when you're talking about the spacetime itself. It is massless and does not pertend to curve unless matter in it does so. So therfore, it may be surprising, spacetime can expand in a superluminal motion. It only carries galaxies away with it. So that's why it was 46.5 billion light years rather than 13.79 or 27 billion light years.

Look at the article starbox. You will find out in there its comoving distance, 15 to 17 billion light years. Obviously enough it was larger than 13.798 ± 0.037 billion light years. But its light travel distance was 10 billion light years. The sentence says: "At a distance of 10 billion light years means that we see the structure as it was 10 billion years ago,...". Because the speed of light is finite, we see it when it was 10 billion years ago. The comoving distance tells that the structure was already this far at the time when I was already pushing my nails on my tablet screen and typing all of these, because the universe is expanding. That's it, for you to understand it. ==Johndric Valdez (talk) 07:19, 17 January 2014 (UTC)==
