ii
For an Einstein-de Sitter universe, the Hubble parameter is H(z)=H0​(1+z)3/2. The comoving particle horizon becomes
rh​(z)=H0​c​∫z∞​(1+z′)−3/2dz′=H0​c​[−2(1+z′)−1/2]z∞​.
(1)
Thus
rh​(z)=H0​1+z​2c​.​
(2)
It tends to zero towards the initial singularity and increases without bound as z→−1 in the infinite future. At the present time it is 2c/H0​=3ct0​, since the Einstein-de Sitter universe has age t0​=2/(3H0​).
