PARTS

Part 3 - Dimensions at Moment Zero (cont)

ARGUMENT 0214

• ARGUMENT 0201: The Universe had a Moment Zero which was when its current expansion began.
• ARGUMENT 02I3: The diameter of the visible Universe at Moment Zero, as deduced through a profiling exercise, is 464,159 lightyears.

• Photons cannot exceed lightspeed so the age of the Universe limits the photons that can be detected from the Earth.
• The mass of the Universe limits how far photons can travel from the Ucentre.
• Arising from this there are two options:

• OPTION 1:  The diameter of the whole Universe is larger than the diameter of the visible Universe. 
• OPTION 2:  The diameter of the whole Universe is smaller than the diameter of the visible Universe.

• Option 1 is preferred.

• The diameter of the whole Universe is larger than the diameter of the visible Universe.

• Ucentre:  The centre of the sphere of the Universe. For convenience, the Ucentre is assumed to be the Universe's centre of gravity.
