  2. Accelerating expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

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

    For supernovae at redshift less than around 0.1, or light travel time less than 10 percent of the age of the universe, this gives a nearly linear distance–redshift relation due to Hubble's law. At larger distances, since the expansion rate of the universe has changed over time, the distance-redshift relation deviates from linearity, and this ...

  3. Expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. Big Bang - Wikipedia

    Such recession speeds do not correspond to faster-than-light travel. Many popular accounts attribute the cosmological redshift to the expansion of space. This can be misleading because the expansion of space is only a coordinate choice. The most natural interpretation of the cosmological redshift is that it is a Doppler shift. [94]

  5. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    Also, a climber's time is theoretically passing slightly faster at the top of a mountain compared to people at sea level. It has also been calculated that due to time dilation, the core of the Earth is 2.5 years younger than the crust. [34] "A clock used to time a full rotation of the Earth will measure the day to be approximately an extra 10 ...

  6. Cosmological horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon

    Hubble radius, Hubble sphere (not to be confused with a Hubble bubble), Hubble volume, or Hubble horizon is a conceptual horizon defining the boundary between particles that are moving slower and faster than the speed of light relative to an observer at one given time. Note that this does not mean the particle is unobservable; the light from ...

    In a recent interview, the astronaut said that the sound was like "someone knocking the body of the spaceship just as knocking an iron bucket with a wooden hammer." See fascinating photos of ...

  8. Cosmic inflation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation

    As the inflationary field slowly relaxes to the vacuum, the cosmological constant goes to zero and space begins to expand normally. The new regions that come into view during the normal expansion phase are exactly the same regions that were pushed out of the horizon during inflation, and so they are at nearly the same temperature and curvature ...

    Overture, a larger and faster passenger-carrying version of the test jet, is planned to launch in 2029 with a top speed of Mach 1.7, Boom says. That's about twice the speed of current airliners.
