Accelerating Expansion of Universe

The accelerating universe is the observation that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerated rate. In 1998 observations of Type Ia supernovae suggested that the expansion of the universe is speeding up.[1][2] In the past few years, these observations have been corroborated by several independent sources: the cosmic microwave background[citation needed], gravitational lensing[citation needed], age of the universe[citation needed] and large scale structure[citation needed], as well as improved measurements of the supernovae[3][4].

An expanding universe means that density drops.

(*Not if the accelerating expansion of matter is the cause of the spatial acceleration)

If acceleration continues eventually all galaxies beyond our own local supercluster will redshift so far that it will become hard to detect them, the distant universe will turn dark.
(*Not if the accelerating expansion of matter is the cause of the spatial acceleration)

Models attempting to explain accelerating expansion include the (*recently re-engaged, formerly abandoned) cosmological constant, quintessence, and phantom energy, with the latest WMAP data favoring the cosmological constant. The most important property of dark energy is that it has negative pressure which is distributed relatively homogeneously in space.
Phantom energy in a scenario known as the Big Rip causes an exponentially increasing divergent expansion, which overcomes the gravitation of the local group and tears apart our Virgo supercluster, it then tears apart the milky way galaxy, our solar system, and finally even atoms. Measurements of acceleration are thought crucial to determining the ultimate fate of the universe, however we should expect the implications of such a major discovery to develop slowly over many years in the same way the big bang model has continued to develop.
The density of dark matter (*The newly adopted name for the reinstated Cosmological Constant) in an expanding universe disappears more quickly than dark energy (see Equation of State (Cosmology)) and, eventually, the dark energy dominates. Specifically, when the volume of the universe doubles, the density of dark matter is halved but the density of dark energy is nearly unchanged (it is exactly constant for a cosmological constant).

How many threads do you need to start about your theory? Ok, we understand that you don't believe in the standard model, and that you believe in the "expansion of matter"; this doesn't mean that you need to start 30 threads on the same topic!

I don't know why you're quoting from Wikipedia either: it's not a good source of scientific knowledge.

" dark matter (*The newly adopted name for the reinstated Cosmological Constant)"

I've told you this many times: the cosmological constant is one contender for what could be dark energy (not dark matter).

Yeah, i thought this forum is for original ideas and that they were going to be graded so you can't get credit for someone else's work. Which makes all these posts a lazy attempt, without any of your own thought put into them. Just your opinion on someone else's words.

"It's still the same old universe, but gravity is the 4th dimension of that same old universe. I'm grateful for the indelible change in my perception of it. It may be impossible to overstate the importance of this book. The one, two three and X Y Z of comprehensive infinity."
- Mark Stephen Halfon, Ph.D., Philosophy (Chair,*Nassau Community Colllege), Brooklyn, New York. (1977 - *2007)

"An ambitious new treatise on the otherwise seasoned subjects of Space & Time. We are not qualified to evaluate it, but are pleased to see it in this ('comic book') format."
- THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOGUE, Portola Institute, 1970 - ‘71

"An unprecedented and awesomely credible non-mathematical theory which matter-of-factly proves that gravity is the 4th dimension of time, then forthwith discovers the previously unrecognized - therefore unidentified - 5th & 6th dimensions of electricity and magnetism."
- Dr. John Shaw, Chemistry Prof. 1971, University Of California @ Berkeley

"Gravity Is The 4th Dimension' - A documentary scientific 'Future Shock'. Major conceptual breakthrough. It must be disqualified or formally acknowledged at the foundations of modern theoretical physics; there is no middle ground. So advanced it's simple."
- Mark Vukovic, Electronics Tech, U.S.N. USS Shasta (AE-33), San Francisco, CA.

"This book has clearly made a formerly mystified theoretical physics truly comprehensible to anyone with high school reading skills and 'street people' in general. Beyond its overt revolutionary scientific import, the social implications are also profound. Bound to surprise and constructively inf luence an enormous number of people for a very long time. Ignoring or denying it won't make it go away. Now I know what E=MC squared means."
- Don Donahue, original printer and publisher of ZAP Comix, San Francisco

"Gravity really is the 4th dimension, and levity and mirth use to be the 5th and 6th dimensions, until K.B. Robertson found them to be electricity & magnetism, respectively.
- Herb Caen, The San Francisco CHRONICLE

"Not without levity, the sharp shooting author expertly documents his academic and historical subject; then - suddenly - the reader is experientially surrounded by it. There is no intellectual escape from the 4-D space-time continuum anymore, in or out of an ignorant or uninterested yawn. The very act of reading these words is directly and physically sustained by it. Observing various responses of others, in the early stages of recognizing it, is a recreation in itself. The documentary is scientifically irreproachable, the informal narrative is a social liberation. The inveterate elements don't like it already."
- Sallie Taylor Melinda Bryan, 1979

"Academic L.S.D. in a Stockholm punchbowl, and everybody's invited. Ready or not there is no way out of this but through it. A scientific Odyssey. The most remarkable fact about 'The New Gravity' is that it was not discovered and written much earlier."
- Gregory Nageotte, Ph.D. Philosophy, Santa Barbara, CA. 1979

"I am unable to disqualify it."
- Dr. Richard Feynman, 1966, Professor Emeritus, Cal Tech

"It reads a hell of a lot more easily and comprehensively than anything else of the subject of Einstein's Relativity. Reads at least as easily as the brass tacks section of any good sci. fi. mag., and it is not science fiction."
- Travis T. Hipp, KSAN radio, San Francisco, 1970

"The old saw, 'There is no gravity, the earth sucks', is no longer tractable. The New Gravity (Is The 4th Dimension) is the old gravity, in a pushy new paradigm of Einstein's 4 dimensional space-time continuum. Guaranteed to illuminate even the most diffident mind. It will chancelessly see you and raise you indefinitely. The New Gravity will never let you down."
- Arthur Kretchmer, 1979, Article Editor, PLAYBOY Magazine

Are you saying I should read that big book in my closet that is supposed to give me the answer? It's hypnotizing me, against my consent, it's pulled the rug from under my feet and it makes me only think about what's written in there. It's taken my life away from me, it tells me to forget what I just read and I do and there's where I keep stopping, after the first chapter. I don't like how that book controls my life. They keep sending me more information to buy the next one cause they assume I already read the first one and it's too expensive, my life is more valuable.

It's got all those Einstein and Newton things and Jesus and everything in there and my life hasn't been the same ever since they put me on their mailing list. They say this is going to be my job, I don't want this job but I cant stop until I finish.

Every time I pick it up to read, I forget where I left off because it tells me to forget. I keep forgiving it too and I keep trying to finish it, I've been trying for over a year but I can't get past it. So I just open it to a random page and I forget everything again. I try to fight against it, it tell me to write things down and I never do (except here), but maybe I should. Do you think that will break me and help me continue?

Ok, I'm going to go try it now cause I'm alone and I don't have to be at work (my fake job that pays me) until 1:15.

See, the first freaking line in the book,

"I observe people. Their behaviors are very predictable. Most people, however, have no idea how predictable (and controllable) they are. Let's take a look:"

But I can't be predicted or controlled (except by this freaking book), it's not fair, we are supposed to do this to the bad guys and I DO and I get beat up for it. But of course no bad guy is going to pick this book up, in fact I get my books burned inside my own house, this is the only one that has survived. You want to study aggression? Why doesn't he burn this book, I already got yelled at for reading it?

I don't want to be here when it happens, it's only going to get more violent if I continue. I can't finish this book, I won't finish it, it brings out the worst in people that don't understand it. There needs to be a God, just one because all hell is going to break loose. Can science prove something instead of people just believing it? Because belief certainly isn't enough, religion doesn't cut the mustard, no non visual god is going to work either. You shouldn't have to die to see god because according to god, he is not a god of death. Just got to get the violence out of that crazy one independent god that just so happens to be dependent of everyone to BELIEVE in it. People are already acting like gods unto themselves, without any conscious thought. Where is the conscious going? I am so sorry I brought children into this world, you have no idea how I regret giving a life to innocence only to be hurt.

Somebody please prove there is a God for the sake of our children.

I'm really confused by this thread! What book are you talking about, sally?

[sillysally]

"The Nouveau Tech Package of Inner-Circle Secrets" You can't get it unless you pass the initiation which takes a couple years of reading the first books. But they choose you, you can't choose them. I had no problem reading those. I can't get rid of this one because it's got my name and descendants on the cover, it says it was printed just for me. It says it's for the life I was meant to live. It's the next level of revealing their secrets to me to and my children eventually. It's closed door for secrets so maybe that's why I can't tell you and it won't let me in either. Maybe I shouldn't talk about it because that's going to be the problem, people learning it and abusing it like how I am already.

Here's one but it has someone else's name on it if you buy it. I am no longer a satisfied customer.

Dark Matter (which - like black holes - has yet to be directly observed or proven) is apparently the source of Dark Energy. Dark Energy is evidently the projection of radiation and electromagnetic energy from Dark Matter. Just as matter is observed by way of the vehicular carrier of its electromagnetic projections, so too, Dark Energy is the carrier of Dark Matter, which, like conventional matter, is expanding at a dramatically slower rate than the electromagnetism it generates - hence, we observe the energy projection (Dark Energy) before we observe the source - Dark Matter coordinate system - from which it originates. In accordance with my interpretation, the Dark Energy signals reach us long before the signals of its source.

The below illustration demonstrates the sequence and rates of speed associated with any material entity, representing the explanatory description provided above. Everything we see is a hyperspeed signalled extension of where it came from - the Dark Matter source images seem to be 'invisible' for this reason. So far, apparently, all we're observing is the transcient signals, - which are reaching us first. This may also be the reason that vast portions of universal matter cannot be accounted for. (Refer Dark Matter)

I guess if you want to have control over people it's all right but good people don't need to be controlled, and that's why the buck stops here with me.
