Talk:Hubble volume

message: "The Hubble length {\displaystyle c/H_{0}} c/H_0 is 14 billion light years in the standard cosmological model, somewhat larger than {\displaystyle c} c times the age of the universe, 13.8 billion years." Why is that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.249.47.217 (talk) 14:36, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Relationship to age of the universe

message: I believe these are the same thing, but someone coming to this topic might have a hard time working that out. It might be best to use Hubble constant rather than parameter as that is the more common term.
I don't want to change it myself in case I'm wrong; and if I am wrong then "Hubble parameter" should be properly explained or linked to a topic which actually explains it.

replies: text: I'm not a cosmologist. From what I understand they are the same but "Hubble Constant" is a very confusing term because it is only constant in space at a given time, and it's not constant in time. It's continually varying, except in the very specific case of exponentially accelerating expansion.Joancharmant (talk) 02:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hubble parameter vs Hubble constant 

message: Cosmo0, you removed the following claims with the comment "removed factual inaccuracies":
*"The Hubble volume is also known as the 'Hubble sphere,' its radius as the 'Hubble radius' or 'Hubble distance,' and the boundary of the volume as the 'Hubble limit.'"
*"Per Hubble's law, objects at the Hubble limit have an average comoving speed of c relative to the center. Contrary to common belief, this does not define the boundary of the observable universe. The observable universe has a much larger radius, about 46 billion light years, and the most distant object we can see, the primordial fireball (the source of the cosmic microwave background), has a comoving speed of about 3.3 times c."
Can you please explain what's inaccurate about these? -- BenRG 17:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies for the first one: you were right and I was confused.  The problem with the second one is that it implies that the primordial fireball is receding from us at 3.3c, which is misleading.  Objects in the region of space that we observe as the primordial fireball are currently receding from us at 3.3c, but the fireball itself (as far as it can be said to be receding at all when it no longer exists) appears to be receding at less than the speed of light.  Similarly, objects at the Hubble limit are observed to be receding at a fraction of the speed of light, but are currently receding at the speed of light, which is what confused me over the first point.  I hope what I've now written makes sense. Cosmo0 18:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Actual Volume? 

message: Articles Hubble volume and Observable universe are written on the same principle and should therefore be merged.
I don't know exactly what the process for merging is, but I have placed tags on the pages involved .  Beast of traal T C _ 13:14, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This (or something similar) has already been discussed (see the talk page for observable universe).  Although the term "Hubble Volume" is often used as a synonym for the observable universe, it also has a more strict definition, which is actually somewhat smaller than the size of the currently observable universe, although I agree the two are related.

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: [Main article] "This is because 1 / H0 gives the age of the universe by a backward extrapolation which assumes that the recession speed of each galaxy has been constant since the Big Bang. In fact, recession speeds initially decelerate due to gravity, and are now accelerating due to dark energy, so that 1 / H0 is only an approximation to the true age."
There is the above silly statement in the main article that a guy or a gal responsible for it should fix a.s.a.p.
The problem with it is of course that "gravity" (some time ago we agreed rather on the term gravitation) couldn't cause neither deceleration (nor acceleration to be sure) since garavitation does not add any energy to the system of free falling bodies (since there is no action at a distance in a real world - or at least in Einstein's world, in which we might be living, or at least it was never proved otherwise). 
In my opinion it might be better for readers of wikipedia if wikipedia diddn't promote prejudices from ancient times when gravitation was controlled only by Newtonian math. We already know a great deal more about the universe and wikipedia should follow rather the knowledge than the prejudices that even Newton didn't share. Jim  (talk) 10:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  decelerate due to gravity? 

message: I think that this article has slightly misrepresented the observability of distant objects. Any object that was ever within the Hubble sphere will always be observable, but the light from it will continue to be redder and more aged as the object appears to approach the speed of light. Their time appears to slow down more and more. (Similar to light from an object falling into a black hole.) A better way of saying it is that light emitted (now) from objects (now) beyond the Hubble sphere will never be seen. - Allyn  
For instance the CMB appears to have a red shift of about 1100X. This means that it takes three years to observe one day of aging of the surface radiating the CMB. That surface continued to move away from us for those three years, but we can only see the next day's light. An observer that is on the 13 Billion year old galaxies that formed where we currently observe the CMB can also observe the CMB from 13 Billion year ago emitted from our current location. - Allyn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.65.82.66 (talk) 16:31, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the 1/H0 an error? It looks like both instances are supposed to be c/H0, not 1. Or am I wrong? 137.150.14.176 (talk) 11:07, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  1/H<sub>0</sub> 

message: Actually nowadays the mean discausality electromagnetic wavelength is longer than the Hubble volume (due to the overlapping Hubble volumes which hold the universe as a whole with some hypernymic/superordinate causality that merely holds the universe as a whole and isn't related to interaction (common) causality). If we deem Hubble volumes as standalone marbles without to focus on spacetime as a whole, the mathematical description is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:8200:6E00:1CD2:E750:1821:8A8A (talk) 13:27, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
