The standard ΛCDM model allows for an infinite spatial extent while still experiencing expansion. The observable universe is finite due to the speed of light and the age of the universe, but beyond that, space could extend infinitely while still expanding. Expansion refers to the metric stretching of space, not necessarily implying a finite boundary. Already discussed. Some photons emitted in the unobservable region will never reach us because their source galaxies are receding too fast, while others might enter our observable universe if the Hubble rate decreases sufficiently over time. The key factor is that the expansion rate evolves, altering the fate of emitted light. Quentin All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

The observable horizon expands because the Hubble rate evolves over time. *So, are you now agreeing that the universe is spatially finite and expanding, as distinguished from the model that the universe is infinite in spatial extent while the average distance between galaxies in increasing? AG * While some distant galaxies are receding faster than light, the expansion rate is not constant, allowing light from previously unobservable regions to eventually reach us. This is why our observable universe continues to grow. *So, for some photons emitted from a galaxy in the unobservable region, they never reach us since space in that region is expanding faster than light speed, but others (emitted from different galaxies in the unobservable region) will eventually reach us since the rate of expansion slows as time progresses, such that the spatial expansion in their region has slowed below light speed? AG * As for black holes, when they eject material, it comes from the accretion disk, not the interior. Excess inflowing matter, under extreme magnetic fields and radiation pressure, is expelled before crossing the event horizon. Once inside, nothing escapes. *That might not be true if all the mass/energy of the universe originated as a BH, which we can identify as the BB. Doesn't the ultra high temperature with all mass/energy concentrated nearly as a spatial singularity at this BB cause a BH to form? AG * Already answered. *Please copy and paste your answer.* No, use your own fingers. I forgot where that was posted. AG * If the universe is infinite in spatial extent, and we run the clock backward, is all the mass/energy of the observable region confined to a tiny or zero volume? What happens to the mass/energy of the unobservable region? TY, AG* Did you answer the above question? AG Yes, multiple times. I didn't understand it, so I wanted to study it again. But the better solution is this; let's just fuck it! AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
