Is this correct information? Also, about how many stars are there in the universe? Given the age of the universe, how did matter reach such distances traveling slower than the speed of light? What’s the fastest speed the furthest galaxy had to travel to reach it’s current point in space?
I made a typo – How long would it take light to travel from the center of the universe to the furtherEST galaxy?
