expanding universe theory

Hoyle died in 2001 never accepting the expanding universe theory.

Even after the development of expanding universe theories, people would engage in this exercise from time to time when looking for a replacement for general relativity.

"The expanding universe theory that was partly rejected--Colossus has just restated Eddington's views almost exactly."

Supporters of Hubble's expanding universe theory state that Hubble's discovery of nebulas outside of our galaxy helped pave the way for future astronomers.

This correlation would come to be known as Hubble's Law and would serve as the observational foundation for the expanding universe theories on which cosmology is still based.

Edwin Hubble (class of 1906) was an astronomer who determined the existence of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and proposed Hubble's Law, which helped in postulating the Expanding Universe Theory.
