he universe was static. Again, science was being conducted under the paradigm of technology of its time. Other scientists took the findings of Einstein and started looking into other aspects that Einstein could not explore. In 1922, Friedmann speculated that the universe was identical in whatever direction we look. This would be true if we were observing the universe from anywhere else. Friedmann was implying that the universe was not static, but I dont think he knew this until the emergence of another scientist. That scientist was Edwinn Hubble. He built the Hubble telescope which allowed scientists to see something that was never thought was there. Hubble began to investigate the motion of the galaxies. Hubble noticed that the light of distant galaxies that were moving away form us was red-shifted and the light from galaxies moving towards us was blue shifted. These findings led to more studies of scientists and the depth of these studies grew as the technology advanced. Eventually, Roger Penrose began to discover and study black holes. Through his findings he showed that a star collapsing under its own gravity is trapped in a region whose surface and volume eventually shrink to zero. This brought about a singularity contained with in spacetime. Stephen Hawking then took Penroses findings to another level. He basically reversed the direction of time and showed that the shrinking could have been an explosion. If this was the case there must have been a big bang that caused the universe to be created. There was a catch to this theory, however. In order for this to be the case the general theory of relativity had to be correct and the universe had to contain as much matter as we perceive that it does. The falicy of this argument lies in the theory of quantum mechanics. This is the theory that describes small scale phenomena. The problem is that quantum mechanics does not coincide with the general theory of relativity....
