Our event horizon is 16BLy. This is the distance from with new information (sent right now) will reach us, ever.
Better way to phrase that is the farthest parts of the universe we have ever observed,or can ever observe using any means of which we have solid understanding now, is currently 46 billion light years away. But we only observed its past when it was 13 billion light years away.
It is misleading to say the observable universe is 46 billion light years in size because the part of the universe we observed when it was 13 billion light years away, and that is now 46 billion years away, is not, and will never be, observable when it is 46 billion light years away, ever.
I have never claimed that anything that is 46bLy away NOW can be observed in the FUTURE. I said "information from the big bang can reach us", referring to the PAST!
Please look at my second statement: I claimed what is 16bLy away NOW is the farthest thing that can be ever observed in the FUTURE (because obviously it is receeding from us. Anything further NOW will never be observable).
What i said in my first statement is that anything that was present at the big bang (earliest point in time) is NOW 46bLY away, thus called "observable universe. In wikis words:
Quote:"The observable universe is a spherical region of the Universe comprising all matter that can be observed from Earth at the present time, because electromagnetic radiation from these objects has had time to reach Earth since the beginning of the cosmological expansion"
I never disagreed with your claim that what is now 46bLY away will never be observed, because in my second claim i said "what is >16bLy away now can never be observed in the future".
This is the reason why the two separate terms "observable universe" and "event horizon" exist. One describes what could have been observed in the past and where it is now, the other terms refers to what we will be able to observe in the future and where it is now. The former is now 46bLY away, the latter 16bLy
In the pic/gif below you see the age of the universe at the left y-axis. X-axis is distance to us. The thin, black horizontal line marks today. As you can see the (thick red) event horizon is ca. 16bLy away, and will never be much bigger.
The particle horizon marks the observable universe, at ca. 46bLy currently, and increasing over time.
