Einstein-de Sitter photon flight time

ID: einstein-de-sitter-photon-flight-time

For an earlier emission epoch , the matter-only flat model gives and . Subtraction gives the displayed elapsed cosmic time. It is not the comoving travel distance divided by , because expansion changes the spatial scale during flight. An Einstein-de Sitter approximation fixed to the same differs from a matter-era approximation normalized to .
