I raised doubt that measuring the distance in the universe by speed of light is incorrect. Many astronomers have answered well, except one, who made me feeling ashamed. I know which country he is from? Most astronomers in that country sit in the observatory with telescope of expired technology. Not even updated with the current FPA. What exactly they observe the universe and what exactly they have published (papers) based on the own research? Current astronomy is such a wide field and everyone gets online data for publishing the “research paper" with few changes, here and there. The stolen data which is published in the paper can easily be caught by an experienced eye. First of all, they need to develop best and the latest observatories and need to start talking about the new research and stop talking only theoretical astronomy (which is already known), being taught in institutes and colleges. Talk only on self research (realistic) and publish only genuine research paper.

more or less you seem to be interested only in "universe" whether its "ex miss universe" or "universe". you should be rather worry about the world, the world we are living in!

There is a specific reason why the speed of light is used in measuring vast distances in our universe. The reason has to do with the composition of matter. The physics trilogy describes the basic forces making up our universe. These are: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. The last is that of a field of physical time, or that of a field of gravity. It is this value that does not change of the three. The reason for this is that this value is what forms our existence. The "c2" value is what forms our reality. In that our selves, and all about us, is formed of this value it becomes the one "constant" entity that all forms of mass and energy may be measured against as being a common denominator.
There is a short writing found at http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" that will explain this further. Click on "Blog" then "list view" and scroll down.

Your method of measuring universe in light years is appropriate. Because, if we measure in some other measurements, it would be like measuring borders of India in millimetres! But more convenient method is to measure in smaller distances (when compared to size of universe eg: Solar system) in AU (Astronomical Unit). 1 AU=149 597 870 691 ± 30 metres (about 150 million kilometres or 93 million miles). But to measure Universe light years are exact measurements. And one more thing is that don't mind all the suggestions made by others. You do consider the useful ones for your progress. Some members will give answers just for points without considering the knowledge of theirs. Stolen data can never be equivalent to own discovered data. Good Luck...

It's not incorrect. Measuring distances in light years (dividing it by the speed of light is the shortest and the most convinient way of measuring distances. The one which you wrote about scientists discovering is an alternate way of measuring distances. But it's very complicated and we have to take all distances in powers.

i have difficulties to create a senseful answer here, since this does not appear to be a question.
i would suggest you may put out an example or ask a detail about where exactly (in your opinion) measuring fails.
cause from what i know measuring without the speed of light would look like trying to drive on a highway without a car... sooo .... uhm.... give us something to play with ?

You talk about published research. But have you published any papers yourself? If you are not willing to defend your own views before the scientific community, you do not have any conviction in your own beliefs to stand up against the status quo.

Your little manifesto is gibberish.....light years is the most accurate method of defining astronomical distances since the speed of light is one of the most classic physical constants in our universe.
