We can't SEE or detect that far, cuz there's this annoying temperature-and-geodesics singularity about 13.6 bly from us that isn't letting anything past. We can theorize, and fit our theories to what we CAN see... but even to see _to_ that distance we have to use something other than electromagnetic radiation, because all of that gets stopped about 300 kly beforehand. So that 92 bly figure is someone's theory, and figuring out how to test such theories is Hard, says Astronomer Barbie. Now wih new Dark Matter Seashore Resort!
