The edge of the universe is more than 12.5 billion light years
away, beyond our visible horizon. The early inflationary period
caused the expansion of space to outrun the speed of light.
Maybe in another 20 billion years, we will hear the bounce.

Portions of this universe are over 100 billion years old--that translates
directly to 100 billion light years... that is a lot of distance... even
thought the echo of the big bang itself may have subsided, I just cannot
believe we can't hear bounces of other signals (signals which cannot be
accounted for)...

Warmest regards,

How is it possible for portions of this universe to be
eight times older than the Big Bang which occurred
about 12.5 billion years ago?

Ahhh, you have me on my use of words...
Let me re-phrase, "Portions of this universe (as heavely bodies) came into
existance over 100 billion years ago..."

Maybe in a parallel universe. But nothing remotely resembling
heavenly bodies existed in our universe before the Big Bang.
Where did you get such an idea?

Yes Cecil:

It seems my figure on the age of the universe was greatly in error...
You see one figure, then a few years slip by on ya, and someone re-writes
the darn books!!!!!

I stand corrected, again.... embarassed-frown

Warmest regards,
John

What came (or went) before the Big Bang?

- Mike KB3EIA -

I missed that!!!
Where is the 12.5 billion year age of the universe given, I will recheck,
but the universe is much older...
You sure that is not the age of our galaxy?

I was remembering an earlier estimate. The latest is:

http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...ry_030211.html

"The new data show the universe to be 13.7 billion years old, to within
200 million years, Bennett said."

Yes, Cecil:

Yes, I agree, most are in agreement, at the VERY LEAST, that the universe is
younger than twenty-billion-years old, I concede, I concede!!!! I surrender
even!!!
