Yes; it is expanding right now, as can be seen in the redshift of distant galaxies.

What model of universe supported by red shift?

The universe expanding in all directions.


The big bang theory a supposition about the creation of the universe postulates that all of the matter in the universe exploded and cooled as it spread in all directions?

True


Why is the primordial background radiation visible in all directions?

The cosmic microwave background radiation is visible in all directions because it represents the thermal radiation left over from the Big Bang. As the universe expanded and cooled, this radiation became uniform in all directions, making it observable from any location in the universe.


Is the center of the universe very close to us?

The concept of a center of the universe is not well-defined in modern cosmology. The universe is expanding uniformly in all directions, which means there is no specific central point. Each observer perceives themselves to be at the center due to the nature of the expansion.


Does the universe have an outer edgeor?

There is no evidence that the universe has an outer edge. The universe is thought to be spatially infinite, meaning it goes on forever in all directions. Our observable universe is limited by the speed of light and the age of the universe, not by a physical boundary.


Where does the universe ends and even if it ends somewhere whats beyond that?

Man may think that he is smart enough to know all things but I believe that only God, the creator, knows the answer to that one. That is a good answer but i also heard from someone i know, i dont know if this is right or not, that the universe keeps growing and growing every second so there is no end.


Is the universe all expanding outward from one central location?

Wherever you are located, it seems as if you are at the center of the expansion.


What planet or star is in the center of the universe?

There is no specific planet or star at the center of the universe. The universe is constantly expanding in all directions from the Big Bang and does not have a central point. Each observer will see the universe as expanding away from them, giving the illusion of a center.


In 1992 Edwin hubble announced that most galaxies in all directions show a redshift what does this imply about the movements of the universe why?

Edwin Hubble concluded from his research and dictations that the universe was indeed expanding, and quickly. In fact, as time goes on, the universe seems to be speeding up in its expansion. He backed it up with the big bang theory, the widely-accepted theory of how the universe began. The big bang theory is complex, but you should know that it has three major parts: * singularity began it all * in milliseconds and at the most extreme temperatures ever, the universe was created and has been growing * the universe continues to grow and expand


Did the big bang theory postulate that all of the matter in the universe cooled as it spread in all directions?

No. It states that matter cooled as all space in all parts of our Universe EXPANDED in all directions. Contrary to a popular misconception -- not helped by misleading or ignorant popular presentations -- Big Bang Cosmology does NOT state that matter exploded out from a central point into empty space. Rather, it states that SPACE ITSELF expanded at all points in our Universe, reducing the density and temperature of the matter within this expanding space.


What is the term for center of the universe?

The term for the center of the universe is often referred to as the "cosmic center" or the "geocentric model" in ancient astronomy. However, in modern cosmology, there is no single defined center of the universe as space is expanding uniformly in all directions from the Big Bang.


Where does the universe start?

SpaceThe universe has no apparent end, although it is apparently finite. It goes on for at least 93 billion lightyears in all directions from Earth; one would also presume it does this in all directions from all other points in the universe. tp put it simply, we really do not - and by the nature of reality, likely can not ever - know where the universe begins and ends.TimeTime began 13.7 billion years ago, give or take a few million years. This is calculated from various properties of the universe, such as observed inflation and expansion, and the cosmic microwave background radiation.
