The universe is expanding more slowly than previously thought

Вселенная расширяется намного медленнее, чем считалось ранееBritish physicists have questioned the existing concept of cosmology.

They do not doubt the tendency of the Universe to its expansion, but I think that his accelerator parameters is exaggerated.

Common cosmological concept that is currently in effect, is based on the discovery that at the end of the last century did a group of astronauts received for their study of the Nobel prize in physics. Then they argued their findings result from the analysis of several supernovae belonging to class Ia, and stated the tendency of the Universe to accelerate the pace of its expansion. And the reason for this, according to them, is the mysterious “dark energy”.

However, the latest research conducted by physicists from Oxford, showed different results. The experiment they conducted by simulating the expansion of the Universe, based on updated data on the number of suns supernovas of class Ia. The results of the experiment showed that the universe is expanding more slowly than previously thought.

Thus, evidence of the impact of “dark energy” is accelerating the expansion is very fragile.
