How did scientists originally view the idea of an expanding universe?

History

Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago

By using and testing Einstein's theory of General Relativity, scientists have observed galaxies moving away from Earth. A few years after Albert Einstein had developed his famous (and by now very well tested!) theory of General Relativity (GR) in 1915 he applied it to the entire universe and found something remarkable. The theory predicts that the whole universe is either expanding or contracting. There really isn't any other alternative. To have the universe staying static is like a pencil balanced on its point... possible, but very, very unlikely and not liable to last for very long. Since the time of Hubble we have observed millions of galaxies with better equipment and verified his results. With the exception of a small handful of galaxies close to us, every galaxy is moving away from us. And in fact, the farther away a galaxy is the faster it is moving away from us. This fits in very well with Einstein's predictions. The galaxies seem to be receding from us because the entire universe is getting larger. The space in between the galaxies is stretching! And the farther away a galaxy is the more space there is to stretch so the faster the galaxy appears to move away from us.

Eva8 [605]
The empires that the leaders of the Second Wabe were to rule were much larger than those of the First Wave. The colonies and people were governed from a distance, and <span>leaders </span>achieved the expansion of their empires through wars of conquest. The <span>leaders</span><span> had more military power, over the old divine power, because they were in command of well-organized armies and fleets of ships to dominate. Instead of seeing themselves as divinities, the rulers of the Second Wabe were politicians, who allowed assemblies and the intervention of the people, like the Greeks. The new rulers were through politics, the creation of laws, new concepts such as citizenship in Rome and Greece, as well as the possibility of not governing for life, but elect leaders, as with the Roman Consuls.</span>

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1. The Constitution of the United States established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

2. The "supreme law of the land" refers to the highest or most authoritative form of law in a given country, usually its written constitution.

3. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2), establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land", and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.

4. Laws are enforced by the courts and the judicial system. If an adult breaks a law in the community or a business or organization does something illegal, they go to the judicial branch of government for review of their actions. The judicial branch is made up of different courts.
