Astronomers use lookback time, , to describe the difference in the age of the universe here and now, , from the age at the time of emission, : = where t is an age. The lookback time depends on the objects redshift and, like the age of the universe, the cosmological parameters selected.
The science fiction genre, although not so named during the time, developed during the late 19th century.

The scale factor is a function of time and is conventionally set to be = at the present time. Because the universe is expanding, a {\displaystyle a} is smaller in the past and larger in the future. Extrapolating back in time with certain cosmological models will yield a moment when the scale factor was zero; our current understanding of ...
