Hubble
Can anyone put Hubble's Law into simple terms for me? How does it account for all the time that it took those distant stars to form and start shining?

Re: Hubble
So Hubbles law and redshift and parallax show us that the farthest stars (that we can see) are at least 13.5 billion light years away. Is it suspected that the universe is actually much older but we just cant prove it yet?
​
Also, is that 6.75 billion light years in any direction? Is it a radius or a diameter measurement?

Re: Hubble
And there's a good chance the Universe is infinite in extent, in which case what we can see is essentially 0% of what there is!
​
This bit of logic always make my brain twitch.

Re: Hubble
The answer is about 46 billion light years in radius.
​
Are we limited to seeing only 13.5 billion light years due to a technical limitation? IE the resolution of our cameras.

Re: Hubble
Sorry to dredge this up again, not sure where else to ask.
​
If our galaxy takes 250 million years to make one rotation and the universe is 13.5 billion years old does that mean the Milky Way has only made 54 revolutions? Surely not.

Re: Hubble
Pretty sure we can say that the universe showed up before the galaxy. What am I missing?
