- Title
Cosmology: An ancient view of acceleration.
- Authors
Strauss, Michael A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the factors that drive the distribution of galaxies or cosmic acceleration. Ideas with regards to the expansion of cosmic acceleration are allegedly falling into two competing categories; first is that the Universe is permeated by strange stuff known as dark energy that causes gravitational repulsion, while the second is the equations of general relativity. However, for an effective observation, scientists have decided to measure the rate at which the clustering of matter has increased over time. The observation was also done by examining the photons that were emitted at some time in the distant past.
