Quoting Bernard Cleyet <bernardcleyet@redshift.com>:

Visible light is redundant. For those who insist IR and UV are light, I
just say (write) the IR and the UV and let them fill in w/ whatever
pleases them.

Visibility is in the eye or sensor of the beholder. Visibility also depends on the velocity of the beholder. Doppler Effect! :-)

By the way, the cosmic microwave background radiation is commonly described as the "oldest light" in the Universe.
