Universe -- A group of international astronomers got new evidence the universe is expanding faster than previously thought.
Only problem is, this calculation does not correspond with the forecasts made observations ever. This raises two allegations, whether the previous measurement was incorrect, or the current effects of new developments outside the existing standard model.
According to the standard cosmological model, the rate of expansion of the universe is constant, or known as the Hubble constant calculations.
"The Hubble constant is very important for modern astronomy to help confirm the existence of the universe, whether it consists of dark energy, dark matter or a normal, proper -I, or otherwise we will lose something fundamental," said lead researcher from the Max Planck Sherry Suyu Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, as reported by Science Alert, Friday (27/1).
Recent research published in the Royal Astronomical Society in January 2017 issue of finding the value of expansion of the universe at 71.2 km / s / Mpc (a megaparsec is 3.3 million light years).
The observations made international team of astronomers named H0LiCOW (H0 lens incorporation in Cosmograil Wellspring) is using the Hubble Space Telescope which act as gravitational lenses universe.
"The method we apply a simple and direct measurement of Hubble's constant as used in geometry and general relativity, no assumptions," said one expert Frederic Courbin, from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
These counts are very similar to last year's estimate of the Hubble telescope. But the difference, in the new calculation, the team was able to record them accurately up to 3.8 percent. However, that number does not match with the prediction of the previous Planck telescope. Data advocated expansion slowed.
Regarding this confusion, the expansion of the Universe Suyu said the figures will now be included in the calculation of the different ways in the knowledge that now exists.
"If you're still seeing the error, probably because it was a new thing, outside of standard cosmology that existed before," added another team member Chris Fassnacht of the University of California.
Research will be the Universe is published in written form serialized in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society this week.
