  1. The Expanding Universe and Hubble's Law

    This expansion, usually referred to as the "metric expansion" of space, is a "broad-brush effect" in that individual galaxies themselves are not expanding, but the clusters of galaxies into which the matter of the universe has become divided are becoming more widely separated and more thinly spread throughout space.

  2. Expansion of the universe

    The expansion of the universe is the increase in distance between gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe with time. [ 1] It is an intrinsic expansion, so it does not mean that the universe expands "into" anything or that space exists "outside" it. To any observer in the universe, it appears that all but the nearest galaxies (which are bound to each other by gravity) recede at ...

  3. Our expanding universe: Age, history & other facts

    Although the expansion of the universe gradually slowed down as the matter in the universe pulled on itself via gravity, about 5 or 6 billion years after the Big Bang, according to NASA, a ...

  4. The Expanding Universe: From Slowdown to Speed Up

    Viewed in the context of Einstein's general theory of relativity, Hubble's law arises because of the uniform expansion of space, which is merely a scaling up of the size of the universe.

  5. Exploring the Mystery of Our Expanding Universe

    Scientists may soon uncover new insights about some of the most mysterious phenomena in our universe with the help of the newly launched Euclid mission. Built and managed by the European Space Agency, Euclid will use a suite of instruments developed, in part, by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to explore the curious nature of dark energy and dark matter along with their role in the expansion ...

  6. Expanding universe

    Expanding universe, dynamic state of the extragalactic realm, the discovery of which transformed 20th-century cosmology. The development of general relativity and its application to cosmology, along with the detection of extragalactic redshift, led to the realization in the 1920s that all galaxies are receding.

  7. Solved: The mystery of the expansion of the universe

    Solved: The mystery of the expansion of the universe. by University of Geneva. The Earth, solar system, the entire Milky Way and the few thousand galaxies closest to us move in a vast "bubble ...

  8. Measuring the Universe's Expansion Rate

    By precisely determining the expansion rate, called the Hubble constant, the cosmic clock can be rewound and the age of the universe calculated. However, Edwin Hubble's estimates of the expansion implied that the universe was younger than the age of the Earth and the Sun. Hubble, therefore, concluded that the redshift phenomenon was an unknown ...

  9. Joule-Thomson expansion in a mimetic black hole

    This is a major advantage of the theory, as it provides a more elegant and natural explanation for the positively accelerated expansion of the universe observed in recent years.

  10. How fast is the universe really expanding? The mystery deepens

    The data from nearby supernovae and Cepheid stars indicates the expansion is accelerating faster than expected based on the conditions when the universe was young, which are reflected in the ...

  11. Astronomy

    Astronomy - Galaxies, Expansion, Universe: Einstein almost immediately applied his gravity theory to the universe as a whole, publishing his first cosmological paper in 1917. Because he was not well acquainted with recent work in astronomy, he assumed that the universe was static and unchanging. Einstein assumed that matter was distributed uniformly throughout the universe, but he could not ...

  12. The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, new theoretical study

    New research looking at the cosmological constant problem suggests the expansion of the universe could be an illusion.

  13. A century ago, Alexander Friedmann envisioned the universe's expansion

    A century ago this month (May 1922), Russian mathematician-meteorologist Alexander Friedmann composed a paper, based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, that outlined multiple possible ...

  14. X-ray survey bolsters prevailing theory of universe's expansion

    The first x-ray survey of the universe in decades has cataloged and measured the biggest lumps in the cosmos: clusters of hundreds or thousands of galaxies. Their masses show how fast matter clumped together over cosmic history, and they tell a story that is at once satisfying and frustrating: The universe is about as lumpy as the standard ...

  15. New analysis of Webb data measures universe expansion rate, finds there

    Scientists used new data taken by the James Webb Space Telescope to make a new reading of the rate at which the universe is expanding over time, by measuring light from 10 galaxies including the ...

  16. Our Expanding Universe: Delving into Dark Energy

    The energy from the Big Bang drove the universe's early expansion. Since then, gravity and dark energy have engaged in a cosmic tug of war. Gravity pulls galaxies closer together; dark energy pushes them apart. Whether the universe is expanding or contracting depends on which force dominates, gravity or dark energy.

  17. Accelerating expansion of the universe

    The accelerated expansion of the universe is thought to have begun since the universe entered its dark-energy-dominated era roughly 5 billion years ago. [ 8][ notes 1] Within the framework of general relativity, an accelerated expansion can be accounted for by a positive value of the cosmological constant Λ, equivalent to the presence of a positive vacuum energy, dubbed "dark energy". While ...

  18. What is Dark Energy? Inside our accelerating, expanding Universe

    Expansion is Speeding Up, Supernovae Show Scientists previously thought that the universe's expansion would likely be slowed down by gravity over time, an expectation backed by Einstein's theory of general relativity.

  19. NASA's Webb, Hubble Telescopes Affirm Universe's Expansion Rate, Puzzle

    The puzzle, called the "Hubble Tension," is that the current rate of the expansion of the universe is faster than what astronomers expect it to be, based on the universe's initial conditions and our present understanding of the universe's evolution. Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and many other telescopes consistently find a ...

  20. General relativity: The expanding universe

    Shortly after Einstein published his theory, Russian meteorologist and mathematician Alexander Friedmann and Belgian priest Georges Lemaître showed that it predicted that the universe should ...

  21. ESA

    Webb measurements shed new light on a decade-long mysteryThe rate at which the Universe is expanding, known as the Hubble constant, is one of the fundamental parameters for understanding the evolution and ultimate fate of the cosmos. However, a persistent difference, called the Hubble Tension, is seen between the value of the constant measured with a wide range of independent distance ...

  22. Big Bang

    Big Bang Timeline of the expansion of the universe, where space, including hypothetical non-observable portions of the universe, is represented at each time by the circular sections. On the left, the dramatic expansion occurs in the inflationary epoch; and at the center, the expansion accelerates (artist's concept; neither time nor size are to scale).

  23. Why don't we feel the Universe's expansion accelerating?

    It was back in the 1920s that the critical evidence came in for the expansion of the Universe, and only in the 1990s that we discovered that the expansion itself was accelerating.

    The theory that Yuji Itadori's Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen might be a Binding Vow triggered by Sukuna adds depth to the series' narrative, tying themes like sacrifice, power complexity, and ...

  25. How does gravity work?

    The standard formula for the law of gravitation goes [source: UT]: Gravitational force = (G x m1 x m2) / (d 2). where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects for which you are calculating the force, and d is the distance between the centers of gravity of the two masses.. G has the value of 6.67 x 10-8 dyne * cm 2 /gm 2.So if you put two 1-gram objects 1 ...

  26. Expanding Earth

    A compromise between Earth-expansion and Earth-contraction is the "theory of thermal cycles" by Irish physicist John Joly. He assumed that heat flow from radioactive decay inside Earth surpasses the cooling of Earth's exterior. Together with British geologist Arthur Holmes, Joly proposed a hypothesis in which Earth loses its heat by cyclic periods of expansion. By their hypothesis, expansion ...

  27. [2408.14316] Convergence of the hydrodynamic gradient expansion in

    We rigorously prove that, in any relativistic kinetic theory whose non-hydrodynamic sector has a finite gap, the Taylor series of all hydrodynamic dispersion relations has a finite radius of convergence. Furthermore, we prove that, for shear waves, such radius of convergence cannot be smaller than $1/2$ times the gap size. Finally, we prove that the non-hydrodynamic sector is gapped whenever ...

  28. Octahedral tilt distortion in negative thermal expansion in the

    Understanding the mechanism of negative thermal expansion (NTE) and controlling the thermal expansion properties of materials at the atomistic level have long captured the attention of scholars. In this regard, the NTE mechanism of fluorides such as monometallic $\mathrm{Sc}{\mathrm{F}}_{3}$ and bimetallic fluorides like $\mathrm{CaZr}{\mathrm{F}}_{6}$ is particularly interesting; despite ...
