An informative talk about 'accelerating universe' and 'dark-energy'! Dark-Energy, DE, is suggested to be the cause of the 'acceleration'! It is nice to hear a Nobel laureate; Professor Adam Riess, saying "We do not know"!. There is still a lot of mysteries around. Thanks for WSU and for Professor Riess for this illuminating talk.

Thanks for the content!

So, the newly detected acceleration has overturned the Hubble Law which says the receding velocity of galaxies = Hubble constant x distance of distant galaxy. Why then still base on that law to show that expansion of the universe has quickened?

Thanks. How do we know the redshifted light we see of distant galaxies isn’t instead due to the effect on this light of outbound neutrinos streaming past us 🌎 from our sun ☀️ (and all other neutrino generating objects in our galaxy and all other intervening galaxies) would have on that distant galaxy’s earthbound light? (e.g. a distant bell 🔔 tower’s sound would be Doppler shifted if wind were blowing towards tower without distance expanding between tower and observer)

[@Hal_McKinney]

This might be testable by comparing redshift of a distant galaxy as observed from earth 🌎 to an observation of that same galaxy as taken from a space based telescope 🔭 located 1 or more AU from earth’s orbit around our sun ☀️... If redshift is different between the 2 observations, then it seems reasonable that redshifting of distant galaxy starlight can be influenced by ou sun’s outbound neutrinos...

good talk

Assuming the growth of the loaf, would those millions of currants in the centre of stopped radiating light. since they was the birth of our beginning? Since light carries what weight per unit atom, will there be a central Blackness drained of its mass in the centre?
