  2. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    The effect is sometimes called the "Doppler–Fizeau effect". In 1868, British astronomer William Huggins was the first to determine the velocity of a star moving away from the Earth by the method. [5] In 1871, optical redshift was confirmed when the phenomenon was observed in Fraunhofer lines, using solar rotation, about 0.1 Å in the red. [6]

  3. lambda-connectedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-connectedness

    In management science, for example, in an institution, two individuals are connected if one person is under the supervision of the other. Such connected relations only describe either full connection or no connection. lambda-connectedness is introduced to measure incomplete or fuzzy relations between two vertices, points, human beings, etc.

  4. Lambda architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_architecture

    The two view outputs may be joined before presentation. The rise of lambda architecture is correlated with the growth of big data, real-time analytics, and the drive to mitigate the latencies of map-reduce. [1] Lambda architecture depends on a data model with an append-only, immutable data source that serves as a system of record.

  5. Geodesics in general relativity - Wikipedia

    Weinberg defines the affine connection as follows: [3] = [] which leads to this formula: =. Notice that, if we had used the proper time “s” as the parameter of motion, instead of using the locally inertial time coordinate “T”, then our derivation of the geodesic equation of motion would be complete.

  6. Cosmological constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant

    Thus, the Lambda-CDM model, the current standard model of cosmology which uses the FLRW metric, includes the cosmological constant, which is measured to be on the order of 10 −52 m −2. It may be expressed as 10 −35 s −2 (multiplying by c 2 ≈ 10 17 m 2 ⋅s −2 ) or as 10 −122 ℓ P −2 [ 29 ] (where ℓ P is the Planck length).

  7. Distance measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_measure

    Distance measures are used in physical cosmology to give a natural notion of the distance between two objects or events in the universe.They are often used to tie some observable quantity (such as the luminosity of a distant quasar, the redshift of a distant galaxy, or the angular size of the acoustic peaks in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum) to another quantity that is ...

  8. Dark energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

    For example, a paper that suggested the anisotropy of the local Universe has been misrepresented as dark energy [83] was quickly countered by another paper claiming errors in the original paper. [84] Another study questioning the essential assumption that the luminosity of Type Ia supernovae does not vary with stellar population age [ 85 ] [ 86 ...

  9. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    The redshift z is often described as a redshift velocity, which is the recessional velocity that would produce the same redshift if it were caused by a linear Doppler effect (which, however, is not the case, as the velocities involved are too large to use a non-relativistic formula for Doppler shift).
