"Something Weird" Is Happening With Our Universe According To NASA (msn.com)

There's an introduction but nothing more on the subject - where's the article?

You didn't see the ">" on the slideshow? Drugs?

So it's a slideshow instead of an article?

Who said it was an article? Are you on hallucinogenic drugs?

I'm not going to dignify that with a response but it's weird chopping up an article into several slices like that - why not just post the whole thing complete?

That aside, the accelerating expansion of the Universe has been known about for 25 years now, so not exactly a surprise to anyone who keps up to date with discoveries in Cosmology!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_expansion_of_the_universe

"The accelerated expansion of the universe was discovered in 1998 by two independent projects, the Supernova Cosmology Project and the High-Z Supernova Search Team, which used distant type Ia supernovae to measure the acceleration"

In 'slide' #4 this has to be a typo? .....

"Scientists are currently studying this strange phenomenon on a set of space and time called "milepost markets" "

That should be markers I think? But don't people read and double-check their own content any more?

* Next time you have some news that's 25 years old, would you mind warning people about that?

I didn't write the "article/slideshow". Take it up with the authors if you want to whine about it. As far as the expansion of the Universe being known or measusured, that was back in 1929 when Edwin Hubble first discovered it - not in 1998. Please don't cry. I'm sorry I didn't warn you. Better?

Were hallucinogenic substances involved?

Refer to the "This is what I saw" forum. Seems you can dignify my post with insults but you cannot take them. Selective dignification. wink

Did you actually read my post?...

"That aside, the accelerating expansion of the Universe has been known about for 25 years now"

It's the acceleration (rate of increase) that's been known about only since 1998! I know perfectly well that Hubble first identified the motion of galaxies in the first half of the last century.

You sound more and more like a 'dog' with a sore head?
