  2. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    The expansion of space summarized by the Big Bang interpretation of Hubble's law is relevant to the old conundrum known as Olbers' paradox: If the universe were infinite in size, static, and filled with a uniform distribution of stars, then every line of sight in the sky would end on a star, and the sky would be as bright as the surface of a ...

    Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than ...

    Two years later, Hubble showed that the relation between the distances and velocities was a positive correlation and had a slope of about 500 km/s/Mpc. [10] This correlation would come to be known as Hubble's law and would serve as the observational foundation for the expanding universe theories on which cosmology is

    In 1929, Hubble and Milton Humason formulated the empirical Redshift Distance Law of galaxies, nowadays known as Hubble's law, which, once the Redshift is interpreted as a measure of recession speed, is consistent with the solutions of Einstein's General Relativity Equations for a homogeneous, isotropic expanding universe. The law states that ...

    Hubble's observations at the 100-inch telescope revealed that the universe was not only vast, but expanding. All this takes money. But “to make money, you have to have money,” McAlister said ...

    Something is changing the expansion rate of the universe, scientists have said. For decades, researchers have been attempting to measure the “Hubble constant”, or the speed at which the cosmos ...

    The earliest and most direct observational evidence of the validity of the theory are the expansion of the universe according to Hubble's law (as indicated by the redshifts of galaxies), discovery and measurement of the cosmic microwave background and the relative abundances of light elements produced by Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN).
