Why Do Galaxies have a Redshift Proportional to Distance?

Показать описание
We know that the universe in expanding because of the fact that galaxies are observed to be rushing away from us in all directions. How do we know this to be true?

This is the fourth of the videos in my new series of Cosmology. I'm going through Dr. Barbara Ryden's textbook "Introduction to Cosmology". If you follow along, you'll get a full upper-division undergraduate course in Cosmology. I used this textbook at William Paterson University.

This course will cover the current state of the science of Cosmology. To follow along, it'll be a good idea for you to ge to know your calculus. Here are the topics of this video:

Introductory Cosmology
Chapter 02: Fundamental Observations
Section 03: Redshift is Proportional to Distance

Some things covered:
Nearly all Galaxies Show a Redshift...
Does cosmic redshift happen by chance?
Does the redshift violate the cosmological principle?
How can we quantify the expansion of spacetime?
What are the Hubble Time and Distance?
How does measuring the rate of expansion give us the age of the universe?
What is the Steady State Model?
Why does the Big Bang win over the Steady State?
What's beyond the cosmic horizon?

Hi. This is an uniroinic, backhanded compliment explaining how pleasant it is to sleep through this lecture.

The best teachers are those who have a genuine passion for the subject, and I haven't seen cosmology so eloquently discussed in such an easy to understand way since Carl Sagan.

I love these videos from Professor Kendal, I feel like I've unlocked so much from the universe from his lessons!

I REALLY enjoy getting into the actual formulas and do some maths!

Such a pleasure to see it, as opposed to all the "popular" channels that seem to be scared to show any numbers at all

Redshift is also proportional to age. The younger universe was expanding, but has it slowed down?

Excellent lesson. Keep them coming brother!

don't red dwarfs live trillions of years Jason???
