The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was granted to Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt, and Adam Reese, who found that the universe is accelerating its expansion and overturned the traditional view. This paper discusses the expansion of the universe based on the theory of general relativity. Some basic principles of the relativity theory are introduced first, which draws the problem of universe evolution. Then we explore the secrets of the universe’s accelerating expansion with several basic formulas from the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity.
