Abstract
In Chapter 11 we have seen that, in the Einstein-de Sitter universe, the number of observable objects is limited even though the space is infinite Euclidean. This happens because at a certain “distance” the spectral ratio becomes infinite and the photons then no longer bring us energy. The observations reach to a “horizon” due to cosmological expansion.
