How did Edwin hubble's discovory happen?

Answer 1

Both.

Generally most galaxies are moving apart, but some galaxies are moving towards each other. For example the Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our galaxy, the Milky Way. The two should merge in about 2.5 billion years.

Answer 2

Hubble's Law is based on the observation of Doppler red shift. The further a galaxy is from us, the faster it is receding. This indicates our universe is expanding, which is something Einstein would have discovered in his equations for general relativity had he just believed what his math indicated.

Answer 3

There is really no definite evidence telling us that galaxies are moving apart because not all Galaxies are moving apart. Some (like our own milky way and it's nearest neighbor) are actually on collision courses and in a couple billion years will merge to form an elliptical galaxy. Butthe big bang theory states that since the big bang our entire universe has been expanding, and this includes galaxies that are slosh but surely moving outwards from the center of the universe

Answer 4

Edwin Hubble did not believe that the universe is expanding! Hubble said the redshift represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature.

Hubble was humble and honest enough to say that the redshift was an unknown principle of nature. Other physicists have taken Hubble's data and misinterpreted it to mean universe expansion. I have a theoretical derivation of the redshift and it indicates that the redshift indicates equilibrium of the universe, not expansion. The redshift is an indicator of the balance between the centripetal force and the centrifugal force. Hubble was right, the redshift was an unknown principle and the universe. The redshift of atoms is the fine structure constant and serves the same purpose, balancing the scalar forces in a quaternion, 4D universe.

Answer 5

They use the Doppler effect: The frequency of the light of a star or galaxy will change, depending on how fast it approaches us, or gets away from us.

Answer 6

They move out from the center of the universe (where the big bang happened).

______________

However, we don't know where the Big Bang happened, so all we can really see is that all\\\\ MOST of the other galaxies are moving "away from us". There are a few, like Andromeda, that are actually moving closer to us, but not very fast.

Answer 7

Hubble's Law applies from everywhere in the Universe. In the broad sense, where ever you are other galaxies are moving away from the galaxy you are in proportionally to its distance from you. This is not an exact science because galaxies are gravitationally influenced by other galaxies and clusters but on average it is true.

Answer 8

It is hard to determine the lateral component of relative movement, for such far-away objects. But, through the Doppler effect, it can easily be seen whether a galaxy moves towards us, or away from us. It turns out that some galaxies move towards us, some move away from us - but far-away galaxies all move away from us, and the farther away they are, the faster they move away. For this reason, it is generally accepted that the Universe is expanding.

Answer 9

Most other galaxies appear to be moving away from us, and the farther away they are, the faster they appear to be going. (The Andromeda Galaxy is a noteworthy exception; it is getting closer. Our own Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 3.5 billion years. )

Answer 10

They infer that the Universe is expanding.

To understand why, think of an assembly hall with a group of chairs in it, spaced in a grid 1m side. From any chair, your nearest chair is always 1m away in any direction (ignore edges). If you move all the chairs to being on a 2m grid, each chair (no matter how far away it was before) appears twice as far away. This effect is the same for any chair in the room.
