The American scientist Edwin Hubble's name is associated with which of these theories?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - The Big Bang Theory
The name of Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer, is associated with "The Big Bang Theory." This theory proposes that the universe originated from a singular, extremely hot and dense point roughly 13.8 billion years ago, followed by rapid expansion. Edwin Hubble's observations of distant galaxies and his discovery of the redshift in their spectra provided evidence supporting the idea of an expanding universe, which laid the foundation for the Big Bang Theory.
