  • @kezthepieman13 thats what i was wondering about tooo....

  • This might be a stupid question, but should this theoretically mean that eventually the sky would be compeletely lit up by more and more stars as we begin to receive light from futher and futher from space? Or is this prevented by stars dying at a certain rate?

  • You might cover this in a lecture I haven't watched yet, but what do we see when we try to look at something very slightly closer, very slightly more mature, very slightly "bluer" than the cosmic background radiation?

  • Thumbs Up!

  • great stuff

  • if the universe is expanding at a rate that some of that radiation it never going to reach us than shouldn't there not be any radiation that would reach us? or is the expansion of the universe exponential?

  • @theBritzed by "it" I assume you mean electromagnetic waves.... "it's" not  perceptible once the wavelenght of "it" is longer then the observable universe... not even theoretically

    the only big thumbs down I see here are the ones on your comment

  • the point at which light will no longer be theoretically detectable is when the wavelength is longer then the observable universe.

  • :)
