Panspermia/A critique of The dark side of the universe: from Zwicky to accelerated expansion
(Review Paper) Cited in Panspermia/A critique of The dark side of the universe: from Zwicky to accelerated expansion
Points Made
[edit | edit source]The universe is not only still expanding, the expansion is accelerating! This supports the big bang, because if it's expanding, a long time ago it must have been smaller, which is the principle of big bang [1].
Methods
[edit | edit source]First they measured the number of galaxies, and then they used this information to measure global geometry which is basically the shape of the universe. [2]
Results
[edit | edit source]They found out that the method was inaccurate and some of the inaccuracies could be corrected through infrared technology.[3]
