Particle Horizon




The particle horizon in Cosmology is the maximum distance from which Particle s (of positive or zero Mass ) can have travelled to the Observer in the age of the Universe .

It is different from the Event Horizon :

  • The particle horizon is defined as the largest Comoving Distance from which Light can have reached the observer — ''at the present moment''. This is also known as conformal time.

  • The event horizon is defined as the largest comoving distance from which light can ever reach the observer — ''at any time in the future''.
