KnowraAccelerating expansion of the universeLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Accelerating expansion of the universe, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 1Related 5Narrower topic 2Compared with 1Type Ia supernovaRelated: Distant Type Ia supernovae supplied key evidence that cosmic expansion is accelerating.Standard candleRelated: Distant Type Ia supernovae revealed that their brightness-distance relation departs from deceleration-only models.Modified gravityRelated: Modified gravity is often proposed to account for this acceleration without a dark-energy component.Big CrunchCompared with: Its discovery weakened the once-plausible expectation that gravity would produce a Big Crunch.High-Z Supernova Search TeamNarrower topic: The team’s 1998 supernova results provided one of the first strong lines of evidence for acceleration.Saul PerlmutterNarrower topic: Perlmutter's supernova measurements helped establish this change in the universe's expansion history.Supernova Cosmology ProjectBroader topic: This was the discovery that made the project historically consequential.Adam RiessRelated: Riess helped establish this surprising result through distant-supernova measurements.Recessional velocityRelated: Changing recession-distance relations provide evidence about the universe’s expansion history.
