Where is the farthest point in the universe?

Answer 1

As of now, the farthest point in our universe is distant 2 X 13.82 = 27.64 billion light years (Bly), nearly.

Using Big Bang dating on our time scale, I have included the antipodal virtual universe as yet-to-be-detected as part of the observable universe. This is my scientific conjecture. Theoretically, I hold that the center of the observable universe is distant 13.82 Bly from us. Consequently, the antipodal point is 2 X 13.82 Bly from us.

The observable universe is expanding, so the farthest point is always changing. However, at this time, the observable universe's radius is estimated to be approximately 46.5 billion light-years, meaning that the farthest observable point is approximately 46.5 billion light-years away from Earth in any direction.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
