Edwin Hubble's original data

Hi, I visited here a number of times a couple years ago, and I
appreciate the guidance several of you gave me. I've spent the couple
years since then studying E.A. Harrison and several other texts, as
well as exploring the issues on my own. I believe I have run across a
means for testing the hypothesis I described years ago, but I need
help to find the data for the test.

Background: For any who might recall, the hypothesis is basically the
notion that the BB theory needs to be modified such that the BB is a
white hole explosion (possibly created by an "external" collision)
along the time axis creating the xyz dimensions within an outer
universe of additional dimensions, e.g., uvw, u1v1w1, and possibly
t1. It recently struck me that I may be able to test the hypothesis
using the original data Hubble used to prove that acceleration away
from us increases as distance increases. It seems to me if I can get
the distance to other stars at multiple different times, I can treat
that distance as an arc. I believe Hubble and others have charted the
BB in three dimensions, xyz; I wish to chart acceleration along the t
axis. If I can determine the theta from the point of origin of the BB
at t0, I should be able to chart the ray back to t0. Even if I cannot
compute theta, which I don't know how to do, I can factor out theta
by looking at the same star at three different times (for each,
theta1=theta2=theta3), and then I should be able to chart the ray
back to t0. With the magnitude of the multiple rays for the same star
back to t0, I should be able to compute the velocity and acceleration
vectors along the t axis. Even if acceleration increases as distance
in xyz space increases, if acceleration along the t axis equals zero,
then the inflation theory is mathematically wrong. I believe that the
remainder of the findings supporting the inflation theory also
support the thesis that the BB is a white hole.

I am not seeking to argue the thesis here, though I always invite
critiques. I give that intro not for the purpose of being pedantic,
but as prelude to asking where I can find Hubble's data or a similar
source of data showing how fast various stars are inflating away from
us. I've got a volunteer math student and computer programmer to do
my trig and programming for me, but I need to find the data to test
the thesis. Where would I find such data?

TIA!

[[Mod. note -- There is now a *lot* of such "redshift survey" data
available. One good place to start would be the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey, http://www.sdss.org/ , particularly their latest data release,
