  1. Spatial Curvature in Cosmological Models - Physics Forums

    Mar 16, 2024 · The observable universe is the region from which light has had time to reach us since the Big Bang; it therefore has a finite radius and finite volume. By contrast, the term universe in its …

  2. Radius of the Observable Universe in Light-years Is Greater than Its Age

    Dec 13, 2015 · The radius of the observable universe is about 46 billion light-years, which is considerably greater than its age of about 14 billion years. The radius of the observable universe is …

  3. Estimates — True Size of the Universe? • Physics Forums

    Mar 19, 2025 · All we know is that the universe is significantly larger than the observable universe. I think current measurements estimate the size of the whole universe to be at least 100 times the …

  4. Why is it giving me different observable canonical form?

    Mar 4, 2021 · The forum discussion centers on discrepancies in the observable canonical form generated by MATLAB's canon (G, 'companion') function compared to manual calculations. Users …
