Einstein-de Sitter round-trip message time

ID: einstein-de-sitter-round-trip-message-time

For two comoving observers in an Einstein-de Sitter universe, light observed at redshift today fixes their separation through the past null geodesic. A newly sent signal needs the same comoving distance for every one-way leg. Since , each leg adds a fixed conformal time interval, producing the displayed reception time after legs when replies are immediate. At the first round-trip wait is . There is no finite count limit because future conformal time diverges, though infinitely many legs require infinite cosmic time.
