•Distance
Measures as a function of redshift
–Then to find the proper distance D,
recall from chapter 5 that D = R sin(r/R)

–
–
–
–Notice what happens for an empty universe. Deriving this was a closed book exam question I had in grad school (prof
assumed we had the
curiosity to check this for ourselves).
