As originally stated Hubble's law didn't take the acceleration of the universe into account. For nearby galaxies, those only a billion or two light years away, that discrepancy isn't significant, but for more distant objects it is. * > *> It says, if I understand correctly, that the further back in time we > go, the greater is the rate of expansion?

The universe is accelerating so the further back in time we go, the LESS is the rate of expansion, and in the future it will be expanding even faster. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
