Horizon problem — The horizon problem is a problem with the standard cosmological model of the Big Bang which was identified in the 1970s. It points out that different regions of the universe have not contacted each other due to the great distances between them,… … Wikipedia
Event horizon — In general relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime, an area surrounding a black hole or a wormhole, inside which events cannot affect an outside observer. Light emitted from inside the horizon can never reach the observer, and… … Wikipedia
Apparent horizon — An apparent horizon is a surface defined in general relativity as the boundary between light rays which are directed outwards and moving outwards, and those which are directed outwards but moving inwards.Apparent horizons are not invariant… … Wikipedia
Absolute horizon — In general relativity, an absolute horizon is a boundary in spacetime, defined with respect to the external universe, inside of which events cannot affect an external observer. Light emitted inside the horizon can never reach the observer, and… … Wikipedia
Particle horizon — NOTOC In physical cosmology, particle horizon is the maximum distance from which particles could have traveled to the observer in the age of the universe. It represents the portion of the universe which we could have conceivably observed at the… … Wikipedia
Killing horizon — A Killing horizon is a null hypersurface on which there is a null Killing vector field.Associated to a Killing horizon is a geometrical quantity known as surface gravity, kappa. If the surface gravity vanishes, then the Killing horizon is said to … Wikipedia
