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 ...
Something is changing the expansion rate of the universe, scientists have said. For decades, researchers have been attempting to measure the “Hubble constant”, or the speed at which the cosmos ...
The Big Bang is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature. [1] The notion of an expanding universe was first scientifically originated by physicist Alexander Friedmann in 1922 with the mathematical derivation of the Friedmann equations.
There appears to be some unknown feature of the universe that is affecting its expansion, scientists have said. New measurements from the Webb telescope – Nasa’s most powerful space ...
