ERROR in ESTIMATION of the RATE OF THE EXPANSION OF the UNIVERSE
THE Rate of the Expansion of the Universe has been a subject matter of controversy for a long time.
SCIENTISTS have determined the Rate of the Expansion of the Universe to be 67 km per second per megaparsec. This figure represents expansion ( km ) in one direction say lengthwise only. Actually the Universe is expanding in three directions- length, breadth, and height or volume wise.
So Rate of the Expansion of the Universe should be measured in three directions and presented as length (67 km) X Breadth ( ... Km ) X Height ( ... Km ) per second per megaparsec. Or ... Cubic Km per second per megaparsec. This approach would give the correct figure and help in ending the controversy.
