One noticeable effect from an accelerating, expanding universe is what's called a redshift in the electromagnetic spectra of distant objects. Analogous to the Doppler effect observed in sound waves, a redshifted electromagnetic spectrum (REMS) is what we call an EM spectrum that was expected to be seen at one specific position within the total EM spectrum (TEMS), but instead was seen at a position proportionally shifted in the red direction of the TEMS relative to the center of the visible light spectrum. A shift towards the red (on the real number line, a shift in the red direction would be analogous to a shift in the negative direction, whereas a blueshift would be a shift in the positive direction) means that the observed EM waves have a proportionally longer wavelength than what was expected, which implies that the object being measured is accelerating away from the observer. See the links below for more information.
It is because the Universe is expanding.
...And the Ever Expanding Universe was created on 2009-07-14.
All the available evidence strongly indicates that the Universe is, indeed, expanding.
1. the universe continues to keep expanding 2. the universe slowly stops expanding 3. big crunch (basically the universe will stop expanding and fall back into itself)
It is not exactly expanding into anything. The galaxies are moving apart from each other, from which we can infer that the universe is expanding. Theoretically, this is a result of the Big Bang, in which the universe began when all matter was compacted into a very tiny sum, and then exploded apart in a very big bang, and as a result is still expanding today.
the universe is expanding continuously even right now as you read this little sentence I wrote.
Yes. The Universe is expanding.
that the universe is expanding.
The universe is expanding.
No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.
Edwin Hubble was responsible for the concept of the universe expanding.
That's because the Universe really is expanding. It started as a "big bang", where all the matter and energy in the Universe was concentrated in a tiny space, smaller than an atom - at a tremendous temperature and pressure. From there it started expanding, and continues expanding to this day.That's because the Universe really is expanding.
