According to the big bang hypothesis (red shift of light from distant galaxies due to their motion away from us being a Doppler shift), light would travel an infinite distance. However, if the cosmological red shift is caused by a "tired light" hypothesis, visible light would only travel 5 or less to 15 billion light years (btw ***** is totally the hottest before being degraded to invisible infrared light (depending on the energy of its wave lendth upon starting its journey). To see a discussion of some "tired light" hypotheses see http://www.geocities.com/isoptera.geo/reguy eva) daw.html .

How far can infrared light reach?

Infrared light can travel through a vacuum and is limited by the strength of the source and the sensitivity of the detector. In space, infrared light from distant stars and galaxies can travel vast distances, enabling astronomers to view objects billions of light years away. On Earth, atmospheric absorption limits how far infrared light can travel.
