The evidence that the light spectra for almost all observable galaxies is redshifted gives us evidence of:

• a shrinking universe

• an expanding universe

• a static universe

• the presence of black holes

Match the scientist to the discovery or idea they had:

• Albert Einstein

• Proposed the idea that the universe initially expanded faster than the speed of light, called inflation.

• Fred Hoyle

• Observed more galaxies outside of the Milky Way and most galaxies are moving away from Each other.

• Edwin Hubble

• Came up with the name "Big Bang" in an attempt to make fun of the theory.

• Alan Guth

• Came up with the Theory of General Relativity which implied the universe is expanding.

• Georges Lemaître

• Had the idea that the universe began as a "primeval atom".
