What does Hubble's law imply about the history of the universe?
2 Answers
Hubble's law implies that the universe had a beginning because it is expanding outward.
Explanation:
Hubble's observations of the red shift implies the universe had a beginning and is expanding outward.
Before Hubble scientists believed that the universe was static and that matter and energy had always existed.
Even today the material realism world view regards matter and energy as being all that there is and therefore eternal. Hubble's law implies strongly that matter and energy is not all that exists.
