Hubble's law Definition and 38 Threads

A. The two great cosmological discoveries of this century, Hubble's redshift and the cosmic microwave background, have made the Big Bang theory the most credible theory of the origin of the universe so far. B. The two great cosmological discoveries of this century, Hubble's law and the cosmic...

(a) How far would a galaxy be whose speed with respect to the Earth is ##c##? Would it be observable from the Earth? r=rα=1.5⋅1026 m =1.6⋅1010 lightyears<4.65⋅1010 lightyearsr=rα=1.5⋅1026 m =1.6⋅1010 lightyears<4.65⋅1010 lightyearsr=rα=1.5⋅1026 m =1.6⋅1010 lightyears<4.65⋅1010 lightyears...

Since Hubble's Law has been around a long time, so, after almost 100 years, to challenge its validity looks like dumb and stupid. So let me be that dumb guy, or maybe the bad boy that spoils the whole thing. Here let me start with the Redshift in general. There are three Redshifts proposed till...

Hubble's Law and Star Velocity By using Hubble's law and the principle of velocity superposition of relativity, we can deduce when the distance of star from the observation point is (photometric distance)r, its velocity V can be expressed as: V = Csin (Hr/C) Therefore, the...

2 bodies that have distance d between them are distancing from each other because Hubbles law. at time t=0 distance between them was d(0) and speed between them was 0. If no force interacts with them then distance is increasing by rate ##\frac{\partial d}{\partial t}=H_0*d## Is it correct...

I have read that Hubbles law states that a galaxys speed as it moves away from us is proportional to it's distance. Does this have an upper limit? If a galaxy 1 megaparsec is moving at 70 km/s, a galaxy 10,000,000 mgp away is moving faster then light. Or am I (most likely) mistaken?

Is I understand it Hubble's law states that V = Hd = dx/dt Solving this differential equation, I got d = kexp(HT) where k is an arbitrary constant. This implies d²x/dt² = Hv = H²d and dⁿx/dtⁿ = Hⁿd. However (at least for me), finding the value of k is a problem, for 1, it must vary from galaxy...

I just saw this news article on the home page of the university I'm working in: http://www.aalto.fi/en/current/news/2017-06-30/ It seems to be about a study that can potentially explain the redshift of distant stars with a mechanism that's related to the interaction of photons with the...

Is the Hubble's law(recessional velocity linearly proportional to distance) valid for all cases even when the spacetime is curved? Is there a nonlinear model for Friedman models or it's always linearly proportional?

I am aware of the philosophical annotations with this question as some argue that science should only serve to explain how physical systems occur and not why; however if this question is not confined to this then I hope that there are answers. Is there an explanation to why Hubble's law exist...

Hello, I was thinking about the Hubble's law and I know that it's determined as H(t)=\frac{1}{a(t)}\frac{da(t)}{dt} and then, thinking in the derivate of the scale factor as the speed, we've de usual formula v(t)=H(t)D But my question is: the distance is the distance we observe the object (so...

The recessional velocity of a galaxy can be calculated using Hubble's Law; the equation where Hubble's constant multiplied by the distance to the galaxy equals the recessional speed of that galaxy. Thus, what is the distance to a galaxy that is required so that the recessional velocity of that...

I have a quick question about the Special Relativity. Non-relativistically, we expect no doppler shift in the wavelength of the emitted light if the source is moving at right angles to the line of sight to the observer. However there is a transverse doppler shift even in this case, caused by...

Hi there! I'm having some trouble understanding Hubble's Law and Constant and would be grateful for some help. So Hubble's Law shows that the most distant galaxies have the greatest red-shift, as they are moving away from us fastest. This shows that all galaxies are moving away from each other...

Alan Guth mentioned in his lectures that to get the accurate linear relationship of Hubble's law, we need to subtract the velocity of the Earth with respect to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) when calculating the velocity of galaxies. Question 1: If space is expanding uniformly...

I am trying to wrap my brain around the evidence for accelerating expansion of the universe from type 1a supernovae. From what I understand, it was first realized that the universe was expanding at an increasing rate from discrepancies between the calculated distances to type 1a supernovae using...

It is known that the dipole anisotropies of the CMB radiation, can give the relative velocity of the Earth with respect to the CMB "rest" frame... In first order, this is given by \beta \approx 1.2 \times 10^{-3} or u_{CMB} \approx 360 km/s . I have one question here: Why is the velocity given...

Hi there, This is my first post but I've been a spectator for a long time now. So I've been working on some of the basics of cosmic expansion and there is one contradiction that I came upon that I can't seem to resolve. I've looked around some of the similar threads but I couldn't find anything...

The Hubble's Law v=H0D LHS of The Friedmann equation H2/H02 I am a bit confused with the following: 1: The Hubble constant H0 is the current universe velocity/distance ratio, it is basically a constant, so galaxies in the universe with a further distance, move away from each other at a...

Homework Statement Determine for the nearest star what should be it's recessional velocity if the space between the two stars is expanding according to the Hubble's law. Compare this value with the speed of the sun when it moves with Milk Way. Homework Equations H_{0} = \frac {v}{D}...

Hubble's law states that the speed of a distant object is proportional to it's distance (this implies an expanding universe). By finding the distance and speed (via redshift) of various distant galaxies you can produce a graph displaying the linear relationship. The gradient of the line is...

Just did a test today (so no results back yet) (year 12 physics) and it annoyed the heck out of me, in part because to answer these questions you had to make preposterous assumptions, assumptions which in hindsight I probably should have just stated as opposed to writing out explanations as to...

The Hubble's Law is based on empirical evidence that those objects further from us are moving away from us proportionate to their distance from us. My question is that the further we look back the further we look back in time. And so, why is that when we see further, and notice objects moving...

Can someone say a few words on Hubble's law as (if) it relates to QM?

While reading I came across this chart in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space Anybody know the source or a similar plot with some explanations? What do you make of it?? What does it purport to show? Is it in the correct section [Theoretical basis and first...

Imagine this;- Two planets and a star separated by cosmological distances that share an amost linear positional relationship - the star is not in the middle and both planets have a direct eyeline to it. Both planets have intelligent life and both are observing the star's redshift. Two...

One thing that really bothers me about Hubble's law is the question of time. Was this ever taken into account? When we observe large distances in space we are also looking way back in time. Sure Galaxies appear to be moving faster at a greater distance but how do we know how fast they are moving...

From what I understand: 1. The more massive the object, the stronger the gravitational field. This leads to the light being emitted from the surface to shift down in frequency. 2. The rate of expansion of the universe causes a redshift proportional its distance away. I'm new to this, but...

I've been reading about the red-shift, the universe expanding, ect... And about the observation that the further a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us, accounting for an ever expanding universe. I'm also curious about the fact that the further the galaxy, the further 'in...

I`ve read that the universes expansion is accelerating. To explain this we have introduced concept of Dark matter and energy. However, Hubble's law: v = H*d means that a speed that separates two points is proportional to their distance. But since they are moving apart the distance becomes...

Would the greatest voids in the universe support Hubble's law to a substantially lesser radius than the neighborhoods of galaxies?

If not Doppler, what type of transformation does Hubble's law utilize?

How are the distance and speed of a galaxy related?

Hi, I was looking through past exams for one of my courses, and I came across a question I wasn't quite sure how to do, so I was wondering if anyone could give some hints (or possibly the rationale for solution), thanks! Homework Statement Observers in three universes A, B, and C measure...

Since the galaxies are receeding with velocity propotional to distance, I'm curious what happens at or beyond the point where the velocities approach the speed of light & how that's possible. One source I looked at said the galaxies are invisible. Another source said the spacetime is what's...

I was reading one of John Gribbin's (popular science)books a few days back when I thought if there could be alternative explanation(s) for the Hubble's law.One simple explanation could be that the value of G(universal gravitational constant) could be changing with time--if G were higher in the...

How would one use hubble's law to find the redshift of a galaxy 10^10 light years away? (in other words 3*10^9 pc) All I know however is the version of hubble's where v=H_o d, with H_o=71 \frac{m}{s*pc}, which tells me that v= 2.2*10^11 m/s. But this violates the second principle of...

Hey, I am really interested in cosmology especially the acceerating vs. decelerating universe debate and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what the implications hubble's law acutually are. I know that is states that somthing that is twice as far away then it is moving twice as...
