I just love seeing him sing Vienna, and then get so tickled about Fry knowing who the gently caress Ultravox was.

Actually, that is pretty easy to explain away: universe was prepopulated with light that appeared to have traveled so far. Like an RTS game where you have all sorts of units and defenses instead of just one peasant.

It has a great name too: z8_GND_5296

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z8_GND_5296


quote:

The light reaching Earth from z8_GND_5296 shows its position over 13 billion years ago, having traveled a distance of over 13 billion light-years (13 gigalight-years). Due to the expansion of the universe, this position is now at about 30 gigalight-years (9.2 Gpc) (comoving distance) from Earth.

Appropriate though since he's pointing out that the number of lights seen is not the same as the number of lights there are.
