Students have asked these similar questions
What are the three important pieces of evidence that led scientists to accept the Big Bang as
the most likely model for the origin of the universe?
Does Hubble's Law work well for galaxies in the Local Group (such as Andromeda)?
No, because dark energy is accelerating the universe's expansion over those distances.
No, because we do not know the precise value of Ho.
No, because Hubble did not know the Local Group existed when he discovered his law.
Yes, it works well for all galaxies.
No, because galaxies in the Local Group are bound gravitationally together.
What has occurred after the Big Bang?
Objects in the universe have reached a critical density.
Objects that were once close together have moved apart as space expanded.
Space expanded without affecting the distances between objects.
Objects that were once close together have expanded apart into already existing space.
