Congratulations on this excellent venture… what a great idea!

I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.

Euclidean embedding of a part of the Lambda-CDM spacetime geometry, showing the Milky Way (brown), a quasar at redshift z = 6.4 (yellow), light from the quasar reaching the Earth after approximately 12 billion years (red), and the present-era metric distance to the quasar of approximately 28 billion light years (orange). Lines of latitude (purple) are lines of constant cosmological time, spaced by 1 billion years; lines of longitude (cyan) are world lines of objects moving with the Hubble flow, spaced by 1 billion light years in the present era (less in the past and more in the future).
The FLRW metric with two spatial dimensions suppressed is
where . If we flip the sign of the dx term, making the metric Euclidean, it can be embedded isometrically in Euclidean 3-space with cylindrical coordinates by
where R is a free parameter. z is only defined when , and goes to infinity for both small and large t in ΛCDM, so a smaller R allows us to embed a larger fraction of the universe's history. On the other hand, with a large R we can embed larger spatial distances, since the embedding curves around on itself at a comoving distance of 2πR.
Ignoring the effects of radiation in the early universe and assuming k = 0 and w = −1, the ΛCDM scale factor is
and the WMAP five-year report gives
(Mpc = megaparsec, Gyr = gigayear). For the embedding above I chose and a time range of 0.7 Gyr to 18 Gyr. I deliberately cut off the embedding short of a full circle to emphasize that space does not loop back on itself (or, if it does, not at a distance governed by the arbitrary parameter R).
The path of the light ray satisfies .
