“What do they mean by ”observable universe?”

I presume he means anything that can be observed by our best telescopes. How many light years that is, I have no idea.

You can see quasars 13 billion miles away. I doubt they mean that. They are probably talking about the galaxy or even less.

I think about 13+ billion with Hubble. Web should be able to look a little farther if it makes it.
