Albert Einstein's cosmological constant was proved wrong by Hubble as he proved the universe is expanding so it doesn't need a constant to stop it imploding.

Who was the astronomer that discovered the universe was expanding?

Edwin HubbleAnswer2:Hubble did not believe the universe is expanding. The universe is not expanding like the big bang, it is excited like an atom. The electrons jump to a higher level and lower their speed. The lower speed is a lower energy state, the max energy is when v=c.Hubble;s relationship v=HD indicates the distance D from the max energy state, where v = c.Hubble's Constant is dR/Rdt =c/R =H = 300M/150TT = 2E-18 m/s x31E21 = 62km/s/Megaparsec.


What did many people believe until Copernicus proved them wrong by using math?

At that time, many people believed that the world was flat. Some still do.


Why was the Catholic Church threatened by Galileos observations of the universe?

Because the Catholic doctrine was that Rome was the centre of the universe and all things revolved round it. When Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter orbiting jupiter, this proved that Catholic teaching and beliefs were wrong and if this was wrong, what else about Catholic teaching may be wrong!


What kind of limitation for Earth-bound astronomers does the Hubble Space Telescope avoids?

A telescope on Earth has two main limitations: the Earth is rotating, and the atmosphere disturbs light from stars. Once the Hubble is aimed at an object, it is held pointed at the object by on board gyroscopes. There is no obstruction, such as the atmosphere, between the object and the Hubble.


How did Rutherford's idea differ from Thomson's idea?

According to Thomson's atomic theory, the mass of an atom was special evenly throughout its volume. Errest Rutherford's experiment proved this wrong.
