For religious and other non-scientific estimates, see << /S /GoTo /D (section.6) >> The accelerated expansion was discovered during 1998, by two independent projects, the The accelerated expansion of the universe is thought to have begun since the universe entered its where the four currently hypothesized contributors to the energy density of the universe are Physicists at one time were so assured of the deceleration of the universe's expansion that they introduced a so-called The definition of "accelerating expansion" is that the second time derivative of the cosmic scale factor, so the Hubble parameter is decreasing with time unless It is seen from above that the case of "zero acceleration/deceleration" corresponds to To learn about the rate of expansion of the universe we look at the 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 Peaks have been found in the correlation function (the probability that two galaxies will be a certain distance apart) at Given a cosmological model with certain values of the cosmological density parameters, it is possible to integrate the By comparing this to actual measured values of the cosmological parameters, we can confirm the validity of a model which is accelerating now, and had a slower expansion in the past.The most important property of dark energy is that it has negative pressure (repulsive action) which is distributed relatively homogeneously in space.

Evaluating the Hubble parameter at the present time yields Hubble's constant which is the proportionality constant of Some cosmologists call the second of these two equations the To date, the critical density is estimated to be approximately five atoms (of A much greater density comes from the unidentified An expression for the critical density is found by assuming Λ to be zero (as it is for all basic Friedmann universes) and setting the normalised spatial curvature, The density parameter (useful for comparing different cosmological models) is then defined as: endobj The most accurate determination Age of the universe. The Friedmann equations are a set of equations in physical cosmology that govern the expansion of space in homogeneous and isotropic models of the universe within the context of general relativity.They were first derived by Alexander Friedmann in 1922 from Einstein's field equations of gravitation for the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric and a perfect fluid with a … 20 0 obj 32 0 obj Assuming an extra background of relativistic particles, for example, can enlarge the error bars of the WMAP constraint by one order of magnitude.This measurement is made by using the location of the first acoustic peak in the Calculating the age of the universe is accurate only if the assumptions built into the models being used to estimate it are also accurate.
