Abstract This project (Expansion of the Cosmos part 2 and ongoing study based on my project from the previous year), aims to calculate the universe's expansion using three formulas and compare the results to Hubble law. The first set of equations is biomedical, while the other two are in the fields of physics, mathematics, and astrophysics. The purpose is to abandon Hubbles (on the objective basis of establishing that, although his research could be accurate, it is also out of date) and take into account what has been discovered about modern physics. The primary forces in our universe—dark matter and dark energy, which together account for around 95.38% of the universe and were found about 70 years after the publication of Hubble Law—provided the basis for the majority of the equations used in this study. The equations I am utilizing in physics and astrophysics will be included in my list of references and encompass vector calculus, volumetric flow rate, and trigonometry. The second equation is biomedical, and it is rarely used in projects like mine. Nevertheless, after doing extensive research, I have discovered that it can be applied to topics such as viscosity and flow rate as a reason for the universe's expansion since dark energy—which has recently been discovered—is most likely a dynamic fluid with a high viscosity. Last year, when I began this research, my intention was to dispute Hubble's Law, and I set out to do just that. However, upon further study into this project, I realized that all research in science has values and it's unnecessary to disregard them, but instead, find applicable methods to solving this problem and compare the results to Hubble's. Mainly I want to prove to myself that with the amount of hard work and dedication I put into this project, I will be successful in BASEF even though it is less likely to be based on the field of astronomy being more uncommon in science fairs.
