Where did you ever get the notion that the visible universe had a radius of 10,000 light years? It’s several billion light years. (7 if I remember.)

"Where did you ever get the notion that the visible universe had a radius of 10,000 light years? It’s several billion light years. (7 if I remember.)" Currently, the Universe is estimated to be at least 13.7 billion light years in size according to the survey and measurements of the WMAP satellite taken a few years ago. Supposedly, we cannot see anything past that limit at this time.

“Young Earth” adherents contend the Earth/Universe is 10,000 years old. Thus the light cone for the Earth can only be 10,000 light years radius.

Back in the early 80s, the last time I heard a lecture on it, the farthest “edge” of the universe that could be detected with the radiotelescopes we had at that time was 12 Billion Light Years from Earth.
I think our equipment has improved, AND the Universe has expanded a bit in thirty-some years.
