Uh, Trump caused galactic warming is causing the rapid expansion. Just ask billy nye. :-)
So the farther in universe we look, the faster objects appear to be speeding away from each other. But the farther we look, the further back in time we’re looking as well. So does this mean the universe is actually slowing down as it ages - nearer objects are older and not moving apart as fast as distant objects (star/galaxies)?
I ignore both Cepheids and red giants and focus entirely on pictures of Chelsea's dad and the expanding size and mass of her mother...
What if I told you our “constants” aren’t constant? Would your dogma force you to balk?
Everything in cosmetology can be explained by invoking Dark Matter.
It's the universal fudge-factor.
If the Universe is expanding (Yes, I know it’s trying
to get away from Chuck Norris.) then the distance between
atomic particles must be increasing also...?
Probably harder to measure though.
So, the whole equation is based on the “fact” that they observed “how many”(?) red giants over the lifetime of the star and determined “when” in that life cycle they peak ( and they all peaked at the same age). The whole equation is based on some obscure assumption not observable by anyone, certainly not a population of RGs and not even one. ( they burn for how long again?)
The Confucian comes from God’s Chinese side - he made much inscrutable to us...
