This is very strange. I have now made two replies to 01101001 and neither has appeared yet! Perhaps if I reply to you by just using the "Reply" button, instead of the "Quote" button, it will work? Anyway, here goes...

Did you read the nicely linked article on Comoving distance there?
Yes I did, but I got a bit bogged down I must admit. I'll have a second go at it.

Observable universe :: Size :: Misconceptions seems to address your former belief about size.
It adresses the view but only to pour scorn upon it. I don't really understand the argument that because spacetime is curved, this makes the idea of what is "observable" open to include stuff which is not observable by my understanding of the term.

PS: DanishDynamite, welcome to the BAUT Forum.
Thanks!

I've read a few bloggs by the Bad Astronomer and he is awesome! Explains things in such a way that even I think I understand them and does so in a very entertaining way as well.

By reading a few threads here it also seems to me that there are some very capable people, within the astronomy/physics area, posting here.

I very much look forward to spending some time here.
