"Redshift Drift: A Revolutionary Method for Measuring the Universe's Expansion Rate"

Scientists propose a new method to measure the expansion rate of the universe called redshift drift. Currently, the expansion rate can only be measured in the present, but redshift drift allows for the observation of the evolution of cosmic expansion over time. The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is expected to be able to observe redshift drifts in the future. In the meantime, researchers suggest using gravitational lensing to detect distant lensed galaxies with multiple images, which would provide snapshots of the galaxy separated by years or decades and enable the measurement of redshift drift.

Solving the Hubble Tension: Redshift Drift Offers New Insights

Scientists propose a new method called redshift difference to measure the expansion rate of the universe. Currently, the expansion rate, known as the Hubble parameter, can only be measured in the present. However, by observing distant galaxies that are gravitationally lensed by closer galaxies, researchers can compare the redshifts of multiple images of the same galaxy taken at different times. This method could provide insights into the evolution of cosmic expansion and help determine whether it is due to general relativity or an extension of Einstein's model. While current telescopes cannot detect the small redshift drift, future telescopes like the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) may be able to observe this phenomenon in the coming years.
