Edwin Hubble Hubble noticed redshifts in the light from the galaxies, and concluded that galaxies are moving away from each other. The Universe is expanding! 1929
What goes up, must come down The origin of the Big Bang theory can be credited to Edwin Hubble. Hubble made the observation that the universe is continuously expanding. Therefore, if the universe is expanding… going back in time suggests that all matter came from one source!
According to the Big Bang model, the universe expanded from an extremely dense, hot state and continues to expand today.
