Age of universe mistake

Astronomers calculate the most distant objects to be 13 billion light
years away. They conclude that this is the age of the universe. This
would only be true if they were moved at the speed of light due to
space expansion. Clearly space expansion has been much slower. I
calculate it took 22 billion years of universal space expansion to
bring those objects out to the 13 billion light years.

Counting the time it took space expansion to cary the objects out the
new age of the universe is 35 billion years or 22 billion years of
expansion and 13 billion years for their light to return to us.

The 13 billion light year distance return time for light will occur in
space that is expanding. So while light is traversing space space is
expanding along the way creating more distance for the light. The
return time of light is then 22 billion years as opposed to 13
billion.

According to this model the age of the uniiverse works out to be 44
billion.

Atronomers calculate the most distant objects to be 13 billion light
years away. They then conclude that is the age of the universe. But I
must point out that they would have to have been expanding with space
at the speed of light for that to be the age of the universe.

No instead we must account for the time the universe has been
expanding carrying them to their 13 billion light year distance. The
universe expanded for 22 billion years to get the most distant objects
there to 13 billion light years.

Second; the return time of light is going to be greater than just 13
billion light years. Since expansion is going on all the time during
light's transit through space there is extra distance to traverse
before reaching us. This is another 22 billion years.

To sum up: the universe expanded for 22 billion years in order that
the most distant objects reach 13 billion light years distance. It
then took another 22 billion years for light to traverse the expanding
space of the universe to reach us now.

Therefor the age of the universe is 44 billion years.

Why would the light return?

Crank relativity says it must.

In Newtonian mechanics,
AB/(tB-tA) = c

In crank relativity,
2AB/(t'A-tA) = c
and we have to guess what tB is, generating big arguments about it.

If you are looking at an object 13 billion light years away, then you
are seeing the object at the location it was 13 billion years
ago.Where is that object now?

DWH says: You are forgetting that objects at around 7 bly are
separating from us at z = 1 (L/S), and the further away, the faster,
so that objects at the limit of Hubbles' deep field are moving away in
orthogonal directions in excess of 5.8 times light speed. If space
were expanding, observers in galaxies moving apart in excess of z = 2
(twice light speed) would not be able to see each other. I just
pointed out that this is not observed, and therefore the only
explanation is that our local group of galaxies is situated at the
center of the expanding universe. AND, it is expanding as evidenced by
the rise times of the light curves of red shifted type Ia supernovae.
Our galaxy and said local group only appear to be about 13.7 billion
years old if we can give any credence to astronomers dating methods
and all the trillions of red shifted galaxies have to be older than
that the further they are from us..    These ideas are my original
intellectual property and have been copyrighted since 1990.

The audience is all making that arms-crossed-over-chest
signal, indicating that they expect the survey didn't have
any responses for that.

Show me... " Clearly space expansion has been much slower."

BZZZZZT!

Thanks for playing.

Mitch, consider the following example. Suppose two
points are currently a distance of 1 million light years apart.
And suppose space is expanding such that those two
points are diverging at 1 percent of the speed of light.
And suppose the expansion is uniform with location.

Then consider two points 1 billion light years apart. If the
two points 1E6 ly apart are expanding at .01 c, then two
points 1000 times farther apart must be diverging 1000
times faster, and so 10 times c.

This is the notion of the local horizon. If space is expanding
at the same rate everywhere, then eventually you will find
a distance beyond which points are moving away faster
than c. This was a rather keen homework assignment in
my fourth year relativity course. And what you find is that
light from those places beyond the local horizon does not
reach us.

Further, the distance to the local horizon (as estimated
by the farthest objects we can see) is not the only way
to estimate the time since the big bang.

There are lots of other problems with what you have posted,
but that's a big enough one to suggest that you try using
information instead of ignorance. Google up some cosmology
pages and do some reading. Maybe even get a textbook.

Puppet  I have posted over the last 6 years in alt astronomy that the
universe is older than 22 billion years. Its in Google. Those that think
its younger don't know how to add  Bert

"Lauteate"?  The f.cking imbecile types it out each time?

this is a distance not an age, you fool
