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

History

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.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about mores?
Katarina [22]

The correct answer is C) Mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.

<em>The sentence that is not true about mores is “mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.”  </em>

Mores are rules that society sets by tradition, beliefs or heritage. Mores are strict because they establish what is morally correct and what is not. When someone does not apply the social mores, he/she usually is criticized. Mores are considered necessary for the welfare of society, sometimes they became laws, and the violation of mores often are met with harsh penalties. But what is not true about mores is “mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.”

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Diary or personal account that was written during the time of the event, etc.

Explanation:

Without a set of options in front of me, my best guess would be something along the lines of my above answer. Primary sources are typically diaries, legal codes, and other firsthand accounts/sources of information. They typically provide the most accurate account of the event that occurred because they have not been interpreted further by any other people.

What development led the Soviet Union to establish the Warsaw Pact? The Soviets gained control over satellite countries. West Ge
Rina8888 [55]

The correct answer is that what led the Soviet Union to establish the Warsaw Pact was that West Germany joined NATO in 1955.

The Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, better known as the Warsaw Pact, was a military cooperation agreement signed on May 14, 1955 by the countries of the Eastern Bloc. Designed under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), its express purpose was to counteract the threat of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and in particular the rearmament of the German Federal Republic, to which the Paris Agreements allowed to reorganize their armed forces and join the NATO. The Pact was dissolved on July 1, 1991.
