Hi, first post on the forum
I am watching this video of a conversation with Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke and about 9 minutes into the film Carl Sagan says: "The galaxys are running away from each other. The further away they are from each other, the faster they are running away."
Was this just a theory at the time (1988) or am I not understanding something here? That the universe expansion is accelerating was, as far as I am aware, discovered by Adam G Reiss, Brian Schmidt and Saul Perlmutter in 1998.
