How does redshift support the notion of the expanding universe?

The redshift of distant galaxies is believed to be a result of the Doppler effect - in other words, the light is shifted towards lower frequencies ("redshifted") due to the fact that the galaxies move away from us.

Did galileo abolish heaven with his theory of the universe?
No, just the childish notion that "heaven" is a physical place just above the sky.

Why was the Big Bang theory more acceptable to Christians?
I would contest the statement that any scientific theory is more or less acceptable to religious denominations. To somebody who believes that the universe was created, the notion that it was created as an eternal unchanging whole should be equally palatable to the notion that it was created as an expanding space. Perhaps, though, the notion that we now had a specific first event to point to provided somewhat of an emotional support to their beliefs.
What determines whether the universe will expand forever or recollapse?
The universe is expanding, and it was recently discovered that the universe is expanding much faster than was originally thought. Also, objects within the universe are constantly changing, such as the birth and death of stars, expanding and/or contraction of gas clouds, and objects in motion (the spinning of galaxies and solar systems, rogue stars or planets) are constantly changing.
What did people think of big bang theory?
At first, many eminent scientists had trouble reconciling the notion of an expanding universe with their convictions. Albert Einstein, for instance, did not accept the notion until the evidence for it had become almost overwhelming, favouring, like many others, the idea of a static universe. For the next few decades, scientific support was pretty evenly divided over Steady State and Big Bang.It wasn't until 1965 that, with the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background, the scientific consensus swayed overwhelmingly towards supporting the Big Bang theory. Today, of course, it is the accepted model, the consensus view.
How does creationism explain the flying apart of the present universe?
Creationists, when asked, will often cite Bible passages such as Job 26:7 ("He stretches out the north over empty space") as supporting or even predicting the observation that the universe expands.
How does the Indian notion of self differ from the western notion?
The Indian notion of self is often rooted in a collective consciousness where the individual is seen as interconnected with others and the universe, emphasizing harmony and balance. In contrast, the Western notion of self tends to prioritize individualism and autonomy, valuing personal identity, achievement, and independence.
Will the big bang ever happen again?
Scientists have largely dismissed the notion of a cyclical universe. So the short answer is: no, this universe will probably not undergo collapse and re-expansion.
The universe has a plan for all of us the question is whether we follow it or not. Is that quote from a movie?
I can't say whether or not it is a quote from a movie but the notion is a bit absurd. I mean, where does 'the universe' do its thinking, its planning?
Is the dc universe larger than the marvel universe?
No!!! Dc has a Finite universe (universe with an edge) because the green lantern corps is based in the middle and has it all numbered. Marvel has an infinite universe, because it is based closely on the real world and our real physics seem to reject the notion of a universal limit.

What is the difference between the big bang theory and the geocentric theory?
The "geocentric theory" refers to the discarded notion that the Earth is at the center of the universe. The Big Bang theory is the model that explains how the universe is basically homogeneous in all directions, and that there is no topological center or preferred place of observation in the universe.
What did Hubble use to attempt to prove his theory?
he discovered that there were millions of other galaxies... making the universe unimaginably larger than previously thought. And he discovered that the light from distant galaxies is Red-shifted, and that the further the galaxy is, the more red-shifted its light. This not only demonstrated that the universe was expanding... It ultimately led to the formation of Big Bang theory by working out this expansion in reverse.
