Hubble Spots Oldest Galaxy Ever Seen
this is interesting, looking back through time and all. i appreciate the science and knowledgeable pursuit inherent in astronomy as much as any other autodidact but may i postulate that the date of the known universe's size and age is still unknown? consider our visible universe as a series of waves and troughs, ripples if you will, created by a big bang or something like a rock in a still body of water with the galaxies and matter on top of the waves and the troughs being relative voids of nothingness, empty space. if beyond the 13.7 billion year horizon/light barrier that we see from our vantage there are supposed troughs or desert like vastness' then perhaps there is another wave of matter/galaxies radiating out beyond our visibility. another ring of cosmic activity. and beyond that perhaps more waves and troughs of activity and inactivity. if there is a galaxy 50 billion light years away and we have only been around for 13.7 billion years that light wouldn't have reached us yet. the universe could be even larger than we have imagined. of course this is currently unprovable due to the constant (?) speed of light. i like to think of the universe as even more expansive than our present conceptions and that it always offers more. then again i'm pretty f69ked up right now and i'm only wearing my pj's.
