so what’s 5.7 billion light years between friends?
I can never grasp the numbers, time, distances in astrophysics.
Heck, I can't even truly grasp 1000 years or miles - I wonder if there's a human being alive who can. Scientists very confidently publish these numbers - millions / billions of years / light years - their "standard" models need these incredible numbers in order to be somewhat credible. How wrong can these models be when they completely ignore so many possibilities - especially the possibility of a creator?
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, - Romans 1:22
The easiest way to think about this is to consider that (according to the way we measure distance) the universe is about 14 billion years old. That means that the galaxy discovered is approximately 5.7/14 = 40% of the radius of the universe away from us...
It will take a long time for us to get there to check it out in person... barring, of course, the super-ultra-hyperdrive device I am working on.
