http://imgur.com/a/nPXZ3 Speed= Distance/ Time. So the farthest star (In the Milky Way. So not too far relatively speaking) is 900,000 lightyears away. 10,000 is about how old you say the universe is. So 900,000/10,000= 90 lightyears per year? But the lightyear is the measure of how far light can travel in one year, and scientifically speaking light... cannot move faster than the speed of light. Yet we still see the light produced by that star. And that is just in the Milky Way. We can observe that, as well as entire galaxies thousands of times farther away. Given only 10,000 year to move at the speed of light, we could only see the light from the nearest stars given their current distance. The universe is about 42.6 billion lightyears across, but the OBSERVABLE universe is only about 13.8 billion lightyears across. Every day the observable universe grows as more light is able to reach our eyes. Imagine it as a balloon expanding in a sphere, where the balloon is the observable universe, the sphere is the actual universe, and we are inside the balloon. We are inside the balloon and can only see as far as the balloons expanse. http://m.phys.org/news/2015-10-big-universe.html As the link says, by the time a photon from the edge of the universe reaches us, the universe has expanded, but the photons are still traveling to us. So how could the observable universe be so big if light has only had 10,000 years to reach us? [spoiler]Believe what you wish. But scientifically speaking, it is impossible[/spoiler]
