If the universe is only 14 billion years old, how can it be 92 billion light years wide?

1. The big bang theory is based on a miracle, (something from nothing) When the observations don't match the theory. inflation, and dark energy are plucked from thin air. This resembles a religious cult more than science.

2. Because the universe is simulated.

3. This is mind blowing. I just got an epiphany

4. The workable tennis ipsilaterally prepare because mercury pharmacologically advise as a absorbing notify. flawless, oafish pasta

5. Not sure if this is poppycock or balderdash

6. It always amazes me how these "scientists" justify their phoney baloney academic positions by postulating on subjective answers to questions that neither cannot nor will not ever be answered….. and they get away with it. Admit it, kids, …you don't know . You are the esteemed witch doctors and shamans of the current time. Unfortunately, we poor, average folks have been, and always will be , taken in by these charlatans. I say, scientifically…..think for yourself.

7. They don't, & won't ever know how the Big Bang explosion took place from Oblivion, nothingness? Then a singularity opened shooting space & intence energy out in all ways, expansion pushed the Universe into what we see now, where are we from? We came from a massive explosion that can't be explained by all the scientists, 13.7 billion yrs ago.
   Was there Intelligence behind it?

8. When I hear this stuff I envy Christians. I’ve embraced science, however since I don’t actually understand this stuff I end up believing in science, which is what Christians at the end of the day, they believe. Just like me. 😆🤪

9. Light year is a measure of distance

10. perhaps hubble got it wrong

11. I watched It while having my dinner, I didn't get it because I was munching on so loud.

12. Nah, I'm in a simulation, and everything before my life was preprogrammed and preloaded before the universe got unpaused. There's just too many coincidences and it's the only logical answer to the Fermi paradox.

13. For me this is

    41.000.000.000

    Forty-one thousand millions.

    And this

    4.000.000.000.000

    Four billions

    You know four millions of millions. 4billions.

    Anyone agree with me u.u?

14. The questions I want answered are, since nothing with mass can travel faster than light, how is space expanding beyond that limit? How much faster than light is space expanding? What is the current acceleration rate due to dark matter? And did cosmic inflation really stop before 10^-33 seconds after the Big Bang?

15. Easy, space is expanding itself, and at an ever increasing rate. Next question

16. Universe is about 13.800 million years old. Not 14 billion….

17. I'm glad there isn't a test at the end of videos like this. It would be a surefire F for me every time. What do you do when there's absolutely nothing the professor says that you can agree with?

18. Better buy me a good telescope for Christmas.

19. Science is NOT a realm of balancing out mathematical equations with hard-valued pseudo constants in between.
    If science defies logic but balanced out equations … then it’s pseudoscience … pre-Copernican science … totally useless for humanity.
    Best to keep such pseudoscience in books 📚 in a library … but never to refer it in public forums.
    Age of universe can never be calculated accurately if size of universe can’t be calculated accurately & vice versa.

20. This what you get if principles are flawed you get weirder and weirder solutions to keep up the appearance.
    Dark matter dark energie speeding gluons higs bosons
    Is it a wave or a particles sTring theory gravitational waves while expanding..
    Light shifts.. Because of the expanding universe but it als does when radar measuring the lensing with jupiter.
    Its is contradicting more and more while we are on a rotating sphere which wobbles eliptically around a sun which rotates around in a spiral in a galaxy which rotates.
    Sure.. But he we now the age of the universe and its visible size.

21. How about more than one bigbang? How about BIG GANGBANG? no one can dispute that. Not even einstein or hawking.

22. Yes its ONLY 14 billion years old..

23. If the distance was 42 million light years and the light took 13.7 billion years to reach means that the expansion of space was slower than the speed of light and then you said that the distance is now 41 billion light years just doesnt make sense.

24. I can look from one end of the Milky Way to the other in a split second…does that mean my vision is travelling faster then the speed of light?

25. If you could outrun space, where would you go?

26. Does it mean that the years will be longer than 365/366 days in the far future?

27. I really struggle with this concept.. If we are constantly loosing sight of distant stars and galaxies, wouldn’t that mean they are traveling faster than the speed of light? Defying the laws of physics as we know it??

28. when I'm trying so sleep but can't for any reason I listen to people explaining science, for some reason it helps me sleep.

29. We have the technology that allows us to see light farther than our time happens, but light travels equivocal to its obstructs. Kinda like why bubbles in a bathtub mysteriously go to the rubby ducky,
