In the universe what is the red shift?
The alterations to the electromagnetic spectrum caused by the expansion of the universe.
What caused cosmic background radiation?
The "big bang" better described as the rapid expansion of our Universe.
Why is the universe expanding and what force is it expanding into is it anti gravity?
The initial expansion of the universe was caused by the Big Bang's explosion of matter. Just as explosions here on earth cause expansion, so it was then. The math today, however, shows that the universe should be compressing again, as the energy lost over time would then be overridden by gravitational forces pulling everything back together. I'm sorry to say there's no such thing in our universe as anti-gravity, though. The universe's fate is generally accepted to be expansion forever at an ever slowing rate. To answer as to why this occurs, dark energy and dark matter are the forces at work - not anti-gravity.
How is the climate outside the universe?
We don't know what it's like outside the universe because the big bang caused the expansion of mass, so were pretty sure nothing happens outside the universe.
Does dark matter/energy responsible for the expansion of the universe?
Yes. Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the universe.
The mysterious force that may be causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate is called?
The current state of affairs with regard to the expansion of the universe point to dark energy as the cause of the expansion of the universe. It is not a force though.
How is it possible that the expansion of the universe is faster than the speed of light?
Relativity theory establishes a speed limit for objects travelling through space - but the expansion of the universe is the expansion of space. There is no speed limit for that expansion.
What can the expansion of the universe can be compared to?
cosmology
What is accelerating universe?
An accelerating universe is a theory which describes and seeks to explain the increasing rate of the expansion of the universe.
What is an accelerating universe?
An accelerating universe is a theory which describes and seeks to explain the increasing rate of the expansion of the universe.
What two quantities did Edwin Hubble compare to discover the expansion of the Universe?
The Serperation of Galaxies which was caused by Dark Energy, and the Big Bang.
Why is the Universe expanding every moment?
Seems to be a residue of the "big bang". I think the reasons for this are not yet entirely clear. Specifically, there is some mysterious force that makes our Universe expand faster and faster! The reason is called "dark energy", but what it really is, is actually a mystery.The initial expansion of the Universe is attributed to "inflation", attributed in turn to a particle called an "inflaton". The details are also as yet unknown.Seems to be a residue of the "big bang". I think the reasons for this are not yet entirely clear.
