This is accelerating the expansion of the universe driving galaxies ever further from each other.

这种能量正在加速宇宙的扩展，使得星系之间的距离越来越远。

Dark matter is a material that also affects the expansion of the universe.

暗物质是一种也会影响宇宙膨胀的物质。

The movement from order to disorder as a result of the expansion of the universe.

由于宇宙的扩张，使运动从有序到无序。

But Hubble's findings do not fit the accepted model for the expansion of the universe.

但是哈勃的发现却不符合宇宙膨胀的常规结果。

Dark energy is just too powerful, and will always drive the expansion of the universe ever-faster.

暗能量实在是太强大了，它会一直驱动着宇宙不断加速膨胀。

Something is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. An unseen force called, " Dark Energy" .

有什么东西使宇宙的膨胀在加速。一种看不见的能量，叫做“黑暗能量”。

That is less than the current distance of its starting point because of the expansion of the universe.

由于宇宙的膨胀，这一距离小于其起始点的当前距离。

It is not that the expansion of the universe causes disorder to increase.

并不是宇宙膨胀导致无序度增加。

The map suggests that the expansion of the universe began to speed up at some point and has continued to do so.

这张地图表明，宇宙的膨胀在某一时刻开始加速，并一直在继续。

I'm no longer obsessing over why the predicted mass of the quantum vacuum has little effect on the expansion of the universe.

也不再纠结为什么量子真空质量的预测对宇宙膨胀作用甚微。

The measurements helped the team produce a " complete story of the expansion of the universe, " lead researcher Will Percival said in a statement.

首席研究员威尔·珀西瓦尔在一份声明中说，这些测量帮助研究小组得出了" 宇宙膨胀扩张的完整故事" 。

And they say it has to do with the expansion of the universe at the very beginning in this process called inflation.

他们说这与宇宙在这个过程的一开始就膨胀有关，这个过程被称为暴胀。

By measuring the speed of different supernovae at different distances –? aka different times in the past – we can plot the expansion of the universe over time.

通过测量不同距离上不同超新星的速度——也就是过去不同的时间——我们可以绘出宇宙随时间的膨胀。

This does not happen in the normal expansion of the universe in which the matter energy density goes down as the universe gets bigger.

这不会发生在正常的宇宙膨胀中，在正常膨胀中物质能量密度随着宇宙变大而下降。

Those photons have been traveling ever since, fighting the expansion of the Universe, redshifting into the microwave part of the spectrum, and seen today all over the sky.

从那时起，这些光子就一直在运动，与宇宙的膨胀作斗争，红移到光谱的微波部分，今天我们在天空中随处可见。

Moreover, the rate of expansion of the universe would automatically become very close to the critical rate determined by the energy density of the universe.

而且，宇宙的膨胀率会自动变得非常接近宇宙能量密度决定的临界率。

However, the expansion of the universe meant that this light should be so greatly red-shifted that it would appear to us now as microwave radiation.

然而，宇宙的膨胀意味着这种光的红移如此之大，以致于它现在在我们看来就像是微波辐射。

Well, the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating rather than decelerating due to gravitational attraction, points to the existence of a force acting against gravity.

好吧，由于引力的作用，宇宙的膨胀正在加速而不是减速，这一发现表明存在一种反引力的力。

Theoretically speaking, it's a repulsive force that is accelerating the expansion of the universe by counteracting the gravity that would otherwise be slowing it down or even reversing it.

从理论上讲，它是一种排斥力， 通过抵消引力来加速宇宙的膨胀， 否则引力会减慢甚至逆转宇宙。

This is designed to probe the nature of " dark energy" , which is thought to be responsible for the quickening expansion of the universe that Hubble helped bring to the world's attention.

该望远镜为了探究宇宙" 暗能量" 的本质而设计，而" 暗能量" 被认为是加快宇宙膨胀的主要原因，哈勃望远镜在探究" 暗能量" 中的作用引起了世界的关注。
