The expansion of the universe is measured at 70km per second per megaparsec (~3 million light years).

So if you take 2 things that started say ~3 billion light years apart (which would be ~1000x a megaparsec), that means every single second the universe has existed those 2 points have gotten 70,000km further apart. And now that they’re further apart, they separate even faster the next second.

For reference:

  • 31.5 million seconds in a year. ( 3.15 x 10^7 )
  • universe is 13.8 billion years old ( 1.38 x 10^10 )

So we talking about this 70,000km getting added between the 2 points ~4 x 10^17 times.

Then you gotta bring calculus into it to factor in the changing distance over time.

It … adds up. Which is why you’ll see the estimates for the observable universe’s radius being ~46.5 billion light years (93 billion light year diameter), even though the universe had only existed for ~14 billion years.
