Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the expansion rate of the universe has been continuously decreasing since the Big Bang?

No. The claim that the expansion rate of the universe has been continuously decreasing since the Big Bang is refuted by observational evidence showing that the universe transitioned from a decelerating expansion to an accelerating expansion driven by dark energy.

HUBBLE PARAMETER MEASUREMENT CONSTRAINTS ON THE REDSHIFT OF THE DECELERATION–ACCELERATION TRANSITION, DYNAMICAL DARK ENERGY, AND SPACE CURVATURE
2017
The paper measures the transition redshift from deceleration to acceleration, showing that the universe's expansion rate has not been continuously decreasing but transitioned from deceleration to acceleration.

A low Hubble constant from galaxy distribution observations
2020
The findings support a negative value for the deceleration parameter, indicating that the universe is currently experiencing cosmic acceleration rather than a continuous decrease in its expansion rate.
