The universe seemed static because, for much of human history, scientists believed it was unchanging and eternal, based on the prevailing view of a static cosmos. This perception was supported by the lack of observable evidence for cosmic expansion or contraction until the early 20th century. It wasn't until Edwin Hubble's observations in the 1920s revealed the redshift of distant galaxies, indicating that the universe is expanding, that the static model was challenged and ultimately replaced by our current understanding of a dynamic, evolving universe.
What else can I help you with?
What is static universe theory?
from CosmologyScience.com "Dynamically stable, non-expanding or non-stretching Universe models; space does not 'expand' with these models." "Do not confuse with Steady-state models which employ space expansion." For more details see -- http://www.cosmologyscience.com/glossary.htm#Static
How can Earth be located at the center of the observable universe if you accept the cosmological principle?
According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.
Do you Think Black holes contribute to the expansion of the universe?
No, that doesn't seem likely.
What two forces govern the movement of the planets and all other bodies in the universe?
Electricity, magnetism.
How was the cosmoligical constant proved wrong by Hubble?
Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe in the 1920s provided evidence against the static universe model favored at the time, which relied on a cosmological constant to maintain stability. By observing that galaxies were moving away from each other and the universe was expanding, Hubble's findings contradicted the need for a cosmological constant to explain a static cosmos.
What is the center of the universe?
Apparently, anywhere you are, it would seem that you are at the center of the Universe.
What assumptions are made in Olbers' paradox?
In Olber's paradox, the 2 most important assumptions made were 1) The Universe is infinite. 2) The Universe is static and infinitely old.
Who is stronger Shadow or Static?
Shadow is stronger than any object in the world although Static is stronger than any object in the universe so Static is stronger
Does the universe have a edge?
It doesn't seem so.
What causes static sound on a TV?
Because sometimes the universe is shaking, and that is what causes it.

Why did Einstein develop the cosmological constant and what was his motivation behind its creation?
Einstein developed the cosmological constant to counteract the force of gravity and maintain a static universe in his theory of general relativity. His motivation was to explain why the universe appeared to be static and not collapsing under the influence of gravity.

What shape do you think the universe is?
Since all of the planets, and moons, and stars seem to have a spherical shape, it is possible that the universe may be a sphere.
Do you Think Black holes contribute to the expansion of the universe?
No, that doesn't seem likely.
That othere people live in your universe?
It is not currently known whether there are other planets with intelligent life... or with any type of life for that matter. It does seem likely, considering the huge amount of stars in the Universe, most of which seem to have planets.
Why does a expanding universe make more sense than a static universe?
Measurements of Doppler shift indicate that nearly all of the galaxies outside of our own cluster are moving away from us.
