Science is for Winners x 4
Last in the current series of Scientist Trading Cards is Edwin Hubble, who discovered that the universe includes many galaxies outside our own and came up with the most commonly used method for classifying them. He also, through application of Christian Doppler's work, provided the first observational support for the Big Bang Theory by discovering that the redshift of a galaxy increases proportionally to the distance of the galaxy from us. He's also got a really incredible telescope named after him, maybe you've heard of it. Lucky guy.

I do believe in the theories and actions of Dr. Hubble, but I am sorry the device has been plagued with so many faults.
ReplyDeleteThis was meant to sound a lot more witty.
That's okay, GT - can I call you GT? - I believe in your intentions and I will mentally attribute extra wit to your comment. You've earned it!
ReplyDeleteNo, on second thought, GT doesn't sound right!
ReplyDeleteI liked it when you called me Gregory. But anything from your honeyed tongue is akin to butterflies on amber wings.
