How far apart (right now) are the two most-distant photons? Think of it this way: assuming that the Big Bang was spherical, then pick a photon heading out in one direction, there should be a photon heading out in the exact "opposite" direction. If light travels at around 186,282 miles per second, and then you multiply that by 2 (since the photons are each going that speed), then you get 272,564 miles per second. Times that for how many seconds the Universe has existed (13 billion years X 31,556,952 seconds in a year) gives you A REALLY BIG NUMBER!
My calculator shows it as 1.11816757844064e+23 miles (plus or minus a few miles). Technically speaking, that would be how large the Universe is and how far apart the two most distant photons are from each other. :-)

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
