CHAPTER

The Redshift of the Universe

The redshift that we observe for the universe was discovered in the early 1900s. If you're being approached by a police car and you try to get away from it, its blue light will seem slightly more red because it's effectively moving away from you. As it goes away, the opposite phenomena happens. And that's why you hear this characteristic rise, as it moves away fromYou. The Milky Way galaxy is no more special or more important than any other galaxy. Therefore, all galaxies to high approximation are moving away from one another. When extrapolated to the future means the universe is going to become more and more dilute.
