OK I admit I know nothing about this stuff but I know there are some geniuses on FR concerning this subject since I myself am a genius on other stuff. (Said with great humility of course.) Anyhow how do they determine that this thing is 13 billion light years from us?

I dream that when we leave this rock called Earth we will be able to travel the universe as an energized soul.
