  2. Accelerating expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_expansion_of...

    In the case of accelerated expansion, ¨ is positive; therefore, ˙ was smaller in the past than today. Thus, an accelerating universe took a longer time to expand from 2/3 to 1 times its present size, compared to a non-accelerating universe with constant ˙ and the same present-day value of the Hubble constant. This results in a larger light ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe

    For example, galaxies that are farther than the Hubble radius, approximately 4.5 gigaparsecs or 14.7 billion light-years, away from us have a recession speed that is faster than the speed of light. Visibility of these objects depends on the exact expansion history of the universe.

    Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than ...

  5. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    According to Hubble's law, the expansion of the universe causes distant galaxies to recede from us faster than the speed of light. However, the recession speed associated with Hubble's law , defined as the rate of increase in proper distance per interval of cosmological time , is not a velocity in a relativistic sense.

    For years, scientists have been troubled by an unusual feature of our universe. It appears to be expanding faster today than it did in the past – and researchers are not sure why.

  7. Hubble shows the universe is expanding faster than we thought

    New measurements from the Hubble telescope suggest the universe is expanding between five and nine percent faster than scientists initially thought. NASA and the ESA measured the distance to stars ...

  8. Cosmic inflation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation

    In a big bang with only the matter and radiation known in the Standard Model, two widely separated regions of the observable universe cannot have equilibrated because they move apart from each other faster than the speed of light and thus have never come into causal contact. In the early Universe, it was not possible to send a light signal ...

    The universe is expanding faster than previously believed, a surprising discovery that could test part of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Astronomers say universe expanding faster than ...
