It’s <strong>Complicated</strong>: <strong>Exploring</strong> Life Difficulties and Finding Divine Serendipity<br />

To clock the speeds of these galaxies, Hubble<br />

utilized the Doppler effect and examined the light<br />

from the galaxies, with a spectroscope; which is a<br />

device that analyzes the different frequencies<br />

present in light. He discovered that the light from<br />

galaxies far off in space was shifted down toward<br />

the red end of the spectrum. Where in the sky<br />

each galaxy lay didn't matter—all were redshifted.<br />

Hubble explained this shift by concluding that the<br />

galaxies were in motion, whizzing away from Earth.<br />

The greater the redshift, Hubble assumed, the<br />

greater the galaxy's speed.<br />

Big Bang theorists believe that since the Big<br />

Bang explosion, the universe has been expanding.<br />

Space itself is expanding. No matter whether you<br />

are looking from Earth or from an alien planet,<br />

billions of miles away, all other galaxies are moving<br />

away from you as space expands. Galaxies farther<br />

from you move faster away from you, because<br />

there's more space expanding between you and<br />

those galaxies.<br />
