Hopefully I use the correct terms in my description.....question:

1) Do the values I obtained (at bottom) for Radius of universe vs
age of universe look about right? It appears that after inflation,
the universe has only about doubled in size, if so.

2) If I understand right, by using Omega_M + Omega_vac = 1.0,
I have picked a flat universe. What values could I plug in and try
so that the co moving radii reported by the calculator reflect a
current best guess for a Dark Energy inflated universe?

Thanks,

Clearly, when the universe was only 0.721 Gyr old, we could not see
(from earth, if we were here back then) objects that were 13 GLyr
distant as light had only been travelling for 0.721 Gyr. But the
objects we observe today, were still out there, beyond the veil of
the CBR, when the universe was 0.721 Gyr old..............same goes
today....there are (most likely) galaxies out at 15 GLyr distance
but we won't see them for another couple Gyr.

So.........I should be able to determine the co moving radius of
the universe as a function of age of the universe, from early to
present, using all objects we can observe today.



Values I got from Ned Wright's Astrophysics Cosmological Calculator

H_0=69.6 Light
Omega_M= 0.286 Universe Travel
Omega_vac= 0.714 Distance Age @z Time
General Button z Gyr Gyr
Age Today = 13.721 Gyrs 0.075 12.721 1

Age at z=2.171 Gyr 0.2534 10.721 3
Light travel time=11.549 Gyr 0.3616 9.721 4
