Allow me to express what I see to be a paradox this way: The farther out we look in space the farther back in time we go, yet the farther back in time we go the smaller the universe was. It seems to me as the apparent distances grow larger they should actually be getting smaller. Maybe...

Nice PDF. I'm guessing the orange areas represent higher density and blue areas lower density. Now the problem I have is that billions of years ago the size of the universe was smaller than it is today but the part of the universe that is labeled Horizon (Big Bang Surface) is larger than the...

Thank you all for your replies. This seems to make sense, but was not the older universe more dense than it is today? Maybe I should have framed this as a question about density. If the universe is uniformly dense then the following should be true: *The portions of the universe that...

I understand what you're saying about similar sized objects subtend a smaller angle the more distant they are. But there is also the factor that the farther way they are the longer light has had to travel to reach us. The farther we look away in the universe the farther back in time we are...

In other words pick two galaxies that are on opposite sides of the universe from us that are at the edge of the observable universe. At some point long ago they were very close together. We are just now receiving light from them as they were billions of years ago. Maybe I'll have to answer...

My conclusions are based on my assumption that objects in space on the grand scale are relatively evenly distributed. Suppose you have Objects A and B that are 2 light years apart and moving away from each other at 1 light year per year. If they are one light year away then we are seeing them...

Regardless of what the actual numbers are shouldn't the older objects appear closer together than younger objects?

It's obvious I'm a lay person and my knowledge extends to what you can learn on the Discovery Channel. Please be kind.

If the Big Bang is true then 14.7 billion years ago the universe was the size of a pea. We are seeing the most distant objects as they were 14 billion years ago. Shouldn't the most distant objects appear to be closer together than objects near us? Shouldn't the universe be denser the further...
