New Study Stuns Astrophysicists

[wacojoe]

Using the Hubble telescope astrophysicists measuring relative movement of stars in distant galaxies have determined that indeed our universe is expanding but in a very surprising manner.

Previously, theory had it that about 13.8 billion of our years ago all matter in our universe (there may be others!) was accumulated in one mass, which exploded in the “Big Bang” sending the mass outward from the center in an expanding universe. That theory would call for the velocity of the parts to be constant or decelerating as gravity slowed the expansion as the mass of each part pulled on each other. The velocity of the expansion was calculated a hundred years ago and scientists have been working to confirm it ever since. Using the Hubble and new techniques, the measurements came in showing the velocity is INCREASING! What the hell! How is that possible? What could account for that? Is it correct? The scientist do not know. If correct some force(s) must be pulling or pushing mass apart. The mysterious Dark Matter, which has avoided positive detection and has become astrophysicists’ convenient MacGuffin for unexplained phenomenon?

I can hardly wait for the theories.

The earth must have been exploded from the hell hole LOL.

As our technology increases we will find a hundred new questions for every answer.
The new Hubble constant is derived from measuring stars 6,000 to 12,000 light years from earth instead of nearer supernovae at 300 to 1200 light years distance. The new constant is derived from observations taken a thousand times a minute every six months for four years rather than one measurement every 6 months.

Dark matter? It is out there and can be defined by its effect but not described for its properties.
