The mysterious force that may be causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate is called?

The current state of affairs with regard to the expansion of the universe point to dark energy as the cause of the expansion of the universe. It is not a force though.


What is an accelerating universe?

An accelerating universe is a theory which describes and seeks to explain the increasing rate of the expansion of the universe.


What two quantities did Edwin Hubble compare to discover the expansion of the Universe?

Edwin Hubble compared the distances to galaxies (based on their brightness) and their redshifts (due to the Doppler effect) to discover the expansion of the Universe. By finding a relationship between these two quantities (dubbed Hubble's Law), he provided evidence that the Universe is expanding.


What is pulling the universe apart?

The expansion of the universe is causing galaxies to move away from each other, with space itself expanding between them. This expansion is driven by dark energy, a mysterious force that counteracts the gravitational pull of matter in the universe.


What will cause the rate of expansion of the universe to slow down?

The expansion rate of the universe is determined by the mass of the things in the universe and the strength of the gravitational force. The universe would start to slow down if some new form of matter were to intervene which incresed the over all mass of the universe, or if there's some property of gravity that we don't know of, where at some threshold it actually becomes stronger.

How does cosmological time dilation affect the perception of time in different regions of the universe?

Cosmological time dilation is the effect where time passes at different rates in different regions of the universe due to the expansion of space. This means that in regions with faster expansion, time appears to pass slower compared to regions with slower expansion. This can lead to differences in the perception of time between different parts of the universe.


In which Direction is nearly all galexies moving in?

Nearly all galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other due to the expansion of the universe. This is known as the expansion of the universe or Hubble expansion.


Does dark matter/energy responsible for the expansion of the universe?

Yes. Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the universe.

How is it possible that the expansion of the universe is faster than the speed of light?

Relativity theory establishes a speed limit for objects travelling through space - but the expansion of the universe is the expansion of space. There is no speed limit for that expansion.


How fast is the expansion of the edge of the universe occurring?

The expansion of the edge of the universe is happening at a rate of about 46 miles per second per megaparsec.


In the universe what is the red shift?

The alterations to the electromagnetic spectrum caused by the expansion of the universe.


What is the significance of the Hubble radius in understanding the expansion of the universe?

The Hubble radius is important in understanding the expansion of the universe because it represents the distance at which objects are receding from us faster than the speed of light due to the expansion of space. This boundary helps us determine the rate of expansion and the age of the universe.

A third theory that says the universe expansion will slow to equilibrium with the final destiny will be neither an endless expansion nor collapse could be called an universe?

Steady state universe. Like they used to think it was.
