Recently, astronomers from Caltech and Edinburgh University discovered galaxies with a redshift of 11.9. With the Hubble constant at 67.8 km/s/Mpc ( according to the most recent survey with the Planck Satellite ) this means that the galaxies are at a distance of 14.24 billion light years !
With the age of the Universe ate 13.79 billion years how is this possible ?
I used the following formulas to calculate the distance :
(z+1)^2 = (c+v) / (c-v) which results in v= 2.96 x 10^8 m/s
d = v / H resulting in d = 14.24 x 10^9 ly
What did I do wrong ?,
Anybody willing to help out ?
Thanks
