The answer I'm going with is false
Explanation: Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.
Is there a multiple choice?
The measurement of the expansion of the universe was what gave rise to the big bang theory and it's predictions.
