Edwin Hubble
Aristarchus of Samos was the Greek scientist who first proposed a heliocentric view of the universe, suggesting that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This idea was revolutionary for its time and laid the foundation for later heliocentric models developed by Copernicus and Galileo.
The redshift of galaxies refers to the phenomenon where the light from distant galaxies shifts toward the red end of the spectrum, indicating that they are moving away from us. This observation, first noted by Edwin Hubble, suggests that the universe is expanding, as galaxies are not just receding from Earth but from each other. The greater the redshift, the faster a galaxy is moving away, supporting the idea that space itself is stretching. This relationship is encapsulated in Hubble's Law, which quantifies the expansion rate of the universe.
The size of the universe at the time of the Big Bang is estimated to have been extremely small, even smaller than a proton. The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, proposed the heliocentric model in the 16th century, suggesting that the Sun is at the center of the universe with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it. This idea challenged the prevailing geocentric model, where Earth was considered the center of the universe.
Hmm...angular velocity. First of all, when you talk about the universe, it seems like you are talking about an object. But the universe is a rapidly expanding object of space and time, so there should be no real boundaries. That means it can't really rotate at all. So, in conclusion, using angular velocity is not suitable for measuring what you are trying to find.

The first scientist to say the earth is not the centre of the whole universe was Nicolaus Copernicus early in the sixteenth century.

Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was the first to use general relativity to show that an expanding universe was the only reasonable description of our Universe, the first to suggest that an expansion would have observable effects, and the first to propose that our Universe had (his words) "a day with no yesterday."
From most points of view the first thing to exist that would be recognisable by us would probably be light.

The Ziebart company was established in the year 1959. The first location was opened in Detroit, Michigan by Kurt Ziebart. The Ziebart company then began expanding into nearby cities.
The scientific explanation that suggests the universe is expanding is based on Einstein's theory of relativity, where he found that the universe should be either expanding or contracting. It is also based on astronomers noticing the red tinge of light from nearby galaxies, meaning they were getting farther away.
