Good morning cavediver:
In an expanding Universe, a stone sufficiently far away will never make it to the Earth as the expansion will work to increase the distance between the stone and the Earth.
Sufficiently far by this mornings calculations is 14 parsecs.
I also cleaned up my statement for a static drop as well. I’ve got to remember that no matter how insignificant an error, even if not relevant to an argument, will be pounced upon by those desperate to defend an untenable position.
Edit #2: Last night when doing the original calculations I used an erroneous conversion factor of 3.09”10
25 m/Mps and failed to notice that it was three orders of magnitude high when I picked it back up this morning.
The correct figure should be 0.43 parsecs, maybe.
