For the last post I looked up Adam Riess’s website - he shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics for co-discovering the remarkable fact that the rate of expansion of the universe is actually increasing. From that I followed a link to a page with a scan of the page in his logbook where he did the first simple calculation on the data his team had gathered. This was the calculation that first showed that the universe is expanding faster and faster.
