and will we be able to see the entire cosmos?
Never heard of light refraction and gravity affecting light, eh?
Never refraction of heard affecting and eh refraction, gravity?
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;27331948]Never heard of light refraction and gravity affecting light, eh?[/QUOTE] I know, but alot of it would reach after after billions of more years
[QUOTE=Crookbbz;27331981]I know, but alot of it would reach after after billions of more years[/QUOTE] Even if the light reaches Earth, it will be horribly distorted.
[QUOTE=Crookbbz;27331937]and will we be able to see the entire cosmos?[/QUOTE] Well... I'm pretty sure most light will continue out into space, seeing as space expands with the speed of light.
My mind is full of fuck.
well the universe is still constantly expanding, so we wouldn't at one time be able to see all of the universe as it is currently.

Well no because it diverges, it get's caught in nebulae, matter, it gets bent through gravity, etc ... Unless the walls of the universe were mirrors or something...

No, especially if you consider that the earth won't be around forever, and light is indefinitely created.
No, sometimes its reflected or refracted, and sometimes it isnt even coming in earths direction [editline]10th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Franke_R!?;27334965]I for one can say that this is absolutely the case, I was there last friday.[/QUOTE] Every hour The universe expands a billion miles in every direction, theorectically you can never reach the limits of the universe

Light has already reached earth, thus the lighting in no matter what environment, if thats what your getting at
All light from every light emitting object will reach us, but light weakens on it's way. Kinda funny how any star we see now could already been exploded and we have still yet to see it.
