"A gamma-ray burst detected by NASA's Swift satellite in April 2009 has been newly unveiled as a candidate for the most distant object in the universe."

That would be impossible to prove. At best it would be the most distant VISIBLE object in the universe.

What is Barack Obama's connection with reality?

I'll take "Dear Reader" for $1000, Alex.

What lies beyond the most distant object in an infinite universe?

May I nominate someone for the honor of being the first to explore GRB 099429B? It'll make the world's billions of Muslim scientists feel all warm and fuzzy.

Here's a question for the scientists here. If this light comes from a galaxy far, far, away and it is the light from billions of years ago when our universe was supposedly much smaller than it is now, why does it register at such a great distance? Wouldn't the light register as being a much closer source if it was from a time when that galaxy was closer to us?

Also, how can they make statements such as "the universe is still expanding and accelerating when the light they are looking at is billions of years old? The universe could be screaming back at us for all we know since the info we have on these distant galaxies is billions of years old and not very up to date.

Wrong. The most distant object in the universe is Obama’s ear - if you happen to be a non-Marxist.

Or... sane.

When this star exploded the universe was only 10% the size that it is now.

How did the earth get to where it’s at now 13 billion years before this Gamma radiation arrived?
