Here is a picture for this entry in our (extremely abbreviated sketchy : ^) timeline.
0.44 switch from deceleration to acceleration [1.65]
I'm considering ways to say that which sound less technical. Up to a point the growth curve slope is decreasing down to about 45 degrees in the diagram, then the slope starts to increase. Could we say that this way?
0.44 growth stops easing and starts to steepen [1.65]
In the graph, the red curve keeps track of the upwards slope of the blue scale factor curve., which is very steep at the outset. The low-point on the swooping red curve corresponds to the minimum slope point of the blue. This is where deceleration ends and acceleration begins. It happens at time 0.44, when the height of the scale factor curve is about 0.6 (distances are about 60% of their present size)
I like using Lightcone7z to get graphs that illustrate moments in time, of the universe's expansion process. If anybody wants coaching on how to start using Lightcone7z to make graphs, just say, it's surprisingly easy.
Let's try alternative wording for that short timeline. May sound dumb at first:
0.04 big star era over [8.6]View attachment 85356
0.234 most remote light arriving now[2.6] View attachment 85289
0.29 galaxy disk [2.2] View attachment 85383
0.44 growth starts to steepen [1.65] View attachment 85355
0.54 Earth [1.4]
0.59 microbial mat [1.3]
0.66 "Great Oxygen Event" [1.2] View attachment 85360
0.77 "Cambrian explosion" [1.03] View attachment 85353
0.797 present [1]
Comparing these two:
0.234 today's light at farthest point on its way to us[2.6]
0.234 widest detour by light arriving here now[2.6]
comparing:
0.44 growth curve starts getting steeper [1.65]
0.44 growth stops easing and starts to steepen [1.65]
0.44 switch from deceleration to acceleration [1.65]
