The accelerated expansion of the universe
The accelerated expansion of the universe
Souce
That the universe is expanding is something that has been known for almost a century when the Belgian astrophysicist and priest George Lemaitre published in 1927 his work that he called the hypothesis of the primordial atom and the cosmic egg, which years later would begin to be known with the most popular name of Big Bang theory.

In Lemaitre's work, the origin of the universe is explained starting from a singularity, an initial point, well, although calling it a point would not be correct because even the smallest point has dimensions and a singularity has no volume, no dimensions and the density and curvature of space are infinite, from that singularity everything we know was formed or arose from the ordinary matter from which we are created to the dimensions of space and time and also everything that we do not know such as dark energy and dark matter.

It was an event that, according to the latest estimate, happened about 13.7 billion years ago, the process of going from a singularity to the immensity of the cosmos that we know as expansion, something that was studied by Edwin Powell Hubble and Milton Lasell Humason, both published their works in 1929 and these works ended up forging what some call Hubble's law and another Lemaitre's law, since the priest had published a study on the subject a few years earlier, it is one of the many controversies in the history of science, as a form of consensus the correct thing would be to speak of the Hubble-Lemaitre law.

In this expansion there is no center, we can imagine ourselves as beings that inhabit the surface of a balloon that is inflating, from our point of view everything seems to move away from us and the further away it is, the faster it seems to move away.

What produces the expansion has received the name of dark energy, we have not been able to observe it directly, nor do we know what it is, we only know the effect it produces, expanding the universe; we can also calculate how much there is and the universe is made up of approximately 68 percent dark energy, 27 percent dark matter, another great unknown by the way, and only 5% normal matter, which is what makes up everything we see and we know like the stars the planets and our bodies.
