Astronomy - Measuring Distance, Size, and Luminosity (30 of 30) Expansion of the Universe!

In this video I will explain how we know the expansion of the universe is speeding up!

Thats how teaching of a subject should great series.

Thank you again for the best lectures on measuring luminosity, distance, size and everything of stars! You have proved the charm of lectures!

This playlist is amazing. Sir

Only 176 times watched??? Man, that should be 176.000!!! Great series of videos. Thanks a lot! By the way, your name looks dutch. Greetings from the Netherlands.

I really enjoyed watching this series. Can you recommend me a book that cover this topic like that in this video series.

Hi Professor. Thank you for this great work. after I finished the astronomy series what field would you recommend for my next studies?

Hello Sir, I don't get why the type 1A Supernovas being further away from Earth than calculations say they are means that the Hubble constant used to be smaller. If they are further away, it means that in the same time as we thought (so from the Big Bang until the time in which they were observed) they travelled more than we previously thought they had travelled. And since they travelled more in the same time, shouldn't it mean that they used to be faster?

Hello, I guess this makes sense as a Type 1a Supernova has M of -19 can see further than Cephid variables where M is max -8. This may have been why the Ho calculated using Type 1a Supernovas was lower 40-65 than the current accepted value of 73 km/s/Mpc. Another assumption is that the hubble constant is uniform in all directions. Is it possible that Ho maybe different in different directions or in different pockets (so varying in direction as well as time)?

Hmm...I don't get it. Why would the discrepancy in distance confuse us ? The calculated distance to a Cepheid star needn't be the same as the distance to another star in the same galaxy, because the objects in the observed galaxy are not all at the same distance from us, obviously. I'm missing something here.
