The target audience of National Geographic are people with some science background but not researchers/experts. It a publication for the masses and so they have to tone down the technical lingo. For physics I read Nature, but for every other topic that might interest me but is above my knowledge level National Geographic works.
- MrYellowP 5y agoHonestly, I find that unacceptable. It's National Geographic. Could at least have some higher standards considering the above average audience. It's not technical lingo using the actually correct wording for the effects of the expanding universe. Galaxies do not fly apart, the space in between grows. The difference is significant, even though the observer wouldn't notice any. I know it seems like a non-issue, but in the end it's misleading all the people who would blindly believe NG to be accurate.
