Description:
The speed of the universe's expansion is governed by a phenomenon known as the Hubble constant. Observations show that galaxies are moving away from us, and the further away they are, the faster they seem to be receding. This expansion is not uniform but accelerates over time due to a mysterious force called dark energy. Recent measurements suggest that the expansion rate is about 70 kilometers per second per megaparsec, meaning that for every megaparsec (about 3.26 million light-years) of distance from us, the velocity at which a galaxy is receding increases by 70 kilometers per second. This acceleration implies that the universe's rate of expansion is increasing, leading to a future where galaxies will be increasingly distant and the universe will continue to expand indefinitely.
