Yes, Hubble would have nothing to do with such nonsense!


Maybe not at first - but then, when he did come around and embrace the
proposal, Hubble gave it scientific credibility. He looked out and
saw faraway galaxies that seemed to be rushing away from us at
tremendous speeds. He noted that the farther away those galaxies were
from us, the faster away from us they appeared to go.

So he interpreted his observations of those faraway galaxies to mean
that the Universe indeed *must* be expanding. And it was never
questioned that those faraway galaxies' behaviors had taken place
billions of years ago, that there was no way of telling what those
galaxies were doing right now, that it was the height of human hubris
to glean from those observations that the Universe is expanding NOW.

Astronomers don't have any trouble with the thought that we see our
own star, the Sun, as it was about eight minutes ago, because the Sun
is about 8 light minutes away. They have no problem with the fact
that if the star Sirius were to blow up today, we wouldn't know about
it until about 8.6 years from now, because Sirius is 8.6 light years
away. So why do they have so much trouble with the thought that if a
galaxy is racing away from us, that may have been what it WAS doing
billions of years ago? How can they take that observation and
conclude that the Universe is expanding NOW???

*He was also the first to derive what
is now known as the Hubble's law and made the first estimation of what
is now called the Hubble constant, which he published in 1927, two
years before Hubble's article. *Lema tre also proposed what became
known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he
called his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'.



Dubbed "Big Bang" by Fred Hoyle in ridicule of the theory!


*As he was a secular
priest, he was called Abb , then, after being made a canon,
Monseigneur."

So this Jesuit priest not only proposed what became the Big Bang
theory of the origin of the Universe, he ALSO was the first to give us
the theory that the Universe is expanding!

He has made fools of us all. *LMBO !

Any 13.75e9 years worth of delayed science gives us 13.75e9 years
worth of interpretations to ponder. In cosmic terms this means that
almost anything is possible, including the general aging of stars,
majority of stars being red dwarfs and the aether cluttered with
helium and carbon buckyballs just to mention a few.

Let me help you out, dumbass. When you look in every direction and all you
see is Galaxies that are red shifted identically for their particular
distance from us, then there is a pretty good chance that the Universe is
expanding. If it were just one or two, one might concede the point. But
every single galaxy in EVERY direction displays a red shift, which pretty
much speaks for itself ... unless you are Panintheass, naturally.

They take measurements of the relative speeds of closer galaxies and
extrapolate. Actually, if closer galaxies seem to be moving apart
disproportionately faster than more distant galaxies, where they know
they are looking further back in time, they conclude there has been
acceleration!

Are all rednecks lacking the visual spectrum of blue?

Perhaps being redneck has put way too much blood into your eyes.

Not every galaxy is floating away from us. Why is that?

You still don't get it. You look at a galaxy that is, say, 8 billion
light years away, and it has a certain red shift. You look at another
galaxy that is 10 billion light years away, and it has a bigger red
shift. You find a galaxy that is 6 billion light years away, and it
has a smaller red shift. Those red shifts are indicators of the speed
at which the galaxies are apparently moving away from us.

You say that all galaxies that are 10 billion light years away have
the same red shift, all galaxies that are 8 billion light years away
have the same red shift, and all galaxies that are 6 billion light
years away have the same red shift. So since this is what
observations of galaxies at those three distances yield, then it has
to be obvious that the Universe is expanding - key word, "is".

The light from those galaxies has taken billions of years to reach us,
either 6 billion years, 8 billion years or 10 billion years. So the
glitch in your explanation seems to be that we are seeing those
galaxies as they WERE billions of years ago. How can you possibly
know what those galaxies are doing NOW, based on how they appeared
billions of years ago?

Good catch, AA! So I guess I'm guilty of doing what most people have
done? I have endowed Hubble with a discovery and belief that he did
not make nor possess. Maybe like everybody else, I don't particularly
care for his idea that the redshift represents an unrecognized
principle of Nature?

Truth is... I think he was right about that last part.

You seem to think that the "tired light" idea, which has been
thoroughly trounced, should be given another look-see? Why is that?

So he interpreted his observations of those faraway galaxies to mean

Almost, but not quite, AA. The conclusion is not that "there *has
been* acceleration", no. The conclusion is that there *IS*
acceleration of the NOW expanding Universe. I have not been able to
reconcile that conclusion with reality. How can a presently expanding
Universe be concluded by observing galaxies that are billions of light
years away, the light we observe having left those galaxies billions
of years ago?
