| contents | With the next generation of big telescopes such as the ELT and SKA it might become possible to measure changes in the expansion rate of the Universe in real time by measuring the change of the redshifts of a large number of galaxies over a period of the order of 10 years. This phenomenon, known as 'redshift drift,' will provide a crucial direct test of cosmological models. The change in redshift is readily explained using the concept of conformal time which is the comoving distance of a galaxy in lightyears. We emphasize that the redshift drift is directly proportional to the average change in the cosmic expansion rate between the time of a galaxy's light emission and its absorption. This phenomenon is illustrated within the framework of the concordance model, the Lambda-CDM model of the universe. |
