	Hubble's Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The dominant motion in the universe is the smooth expansion known as Hubble's Law.
		The recessional velocity of a galaxy at a particular distance inferred from Hubble's law is called the "Hubble velocity".
		Therefore in the vicinity of nearby clusters of galaxies, we cannot use Hubble's law to determine accurately the distance to the galaxy.

	Hubble's Law: v= Hd (H - Hubble's constant). Hubble's Law gives the Age of the Universe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Hubbles law: the velocity at which a typical galaxy recedes (v) is proportional to its distance (d).
		Hubble measured the redshifts of a few dozen galaxies—this gave enough data to formulate Hubble's law and determine Hubble's constant.
		The age of the Universe is the inverse of Hubble's constant, i.e.

	Hubble’s Law: The Starting Point for All Things Cosmological
		In 1929, Edwin Hubble put forth the idea that the speed with which galaxies were traveling away from us was related to how far away they were.
		One of the best techniques (and the one Hubble used) involve comparing the brightness of a star or galaxy with something else, like a cepheid variable star of a known distance and brightness, from which the distance is inferred.
		Hubble’s Law tells us the rate at which the universe is expanding, and we can use that information to run the clock backward and get the age of the universe.

	NASA - Two Hubbles Achieve Great Heights
		Hubble originally studied to become a lawyer and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago in 1910.
		In his own words, Hubble said he "chucked the law for astronomy, and I knew that even if I were second-rate or third-rate, it was astronomy that mattered." In 1914, he returned to the University of Chicago to complete his doctorate in astronomy.
		The Hubble Telescope was originally designed in the 1970s and deployed in April 1990 by the crew of the Space Shuttle Discovery.

	Expanding Universe
		Hubble, who had been the first to establish that the universe included many other galaxies outside of our own, noticed something else: the galaxies were receding from us at a velocity proportional to their distance.
		The apparent linearity of Hubble's Law implies that the universe is uniformly expanding.
		Determining the Hubble Constant is something of a Holy Grail for cosmologists, because it holds the key to the age of the universe.

	Hubble's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hubble's law is the statement in physical cosmology that the redshift in light coming from distant galaxies is proportional to their distance.
		Though there was considerable scatter (now known to be due to peculiar velocities), Hubble was able to plot a trend line from the 46 galaxies he studied and obtained a value for the Hubble constant of 500 km/s/Mpc, which is much higher than the currently accepted value due to errors in his distance calibrations.
		The mathematical derivation of an idealized Hubble's Law for a uniformly expanding universe is a fairly elementary theorem of geometry in 3-dimensional Cartesian/Newtonian coordinate space, which, considered as a metric space, is entirely homogeneous and isotropic (properties do not vary with location or direction).

		This would break the law of conservation of energy, which is one of the basic tenets of physics.) Therefore the universe is of finite age and/or of finite size.
		Although, as Ferris will tell you, Hubble was very much data-bound and hesitant to make the step from the law he had discovered to a theory concerning its meaning, he had shown that almost all galaxies appear to be moving directly away from us.
		Hubbles Law reveals that everyone sees the same thing, on a large scale, and it tells us how much the universe has expanded since it was formed.

	Brief History of Cosmology
		Hubble was able to resolve Cepheids in M31 (the Andromeda galaxy) with the 100" telescope at Mt Wilson.
		The constant of proportionality H is called Hubble's constant (it was significantly over-estimated by Hubble himself).
		The Hubble Space Telescope was able to resolve Cepheid variable stars in galaxies in the Virgo cluster, ensuring a much better calibration of distance measures.

		In the 1920's, Edwin Hubble measured the distances of the galaxies for the first time, and when he plotted these distances against the speed at which each galaxy was moving away he noted something strange: The further a galaxy was from the Milky Way, the faster it was moving away.
		So Hubble's discovery of the correlation between velocity and distance is fundamental in understanding the evolution of the universe.
		Hubble's Law predicts that the galaxies should lie on a straight line when plotted on a graph of distance vs. velocity.

		Hubbles Law-the farther away a galaxy is from us, the greater its radial velocity of recession will be.
		The Hubble law equation (v=Hd) v is radial velocity in km per second, H is the Hubble constant and d is the distance in millions of light years.

	Hubbles Law
		It was observed by Vesto that the light of many Galaxies was shifted towards the red end of the spectrum, the simplest explanation for this was that they were moving away from us.
		Hubble carried these observations further and discovered that the galaxies were receding from us at a speed proportional to their distance.
		- The higher the velocity of a galaxy is moving away the greater its redshift is. - This relation is known as Hubble’s Law.

		MATHEMATICAL DEMONSTRATION ON HUBBLE'S LAW This paper differs itself from the belief that is preached by the Big Bang Theory and is able to unify all major astronomical observations in one systematic explanation.
		Paradox four: Relativity claims that light in vacuum space possesses the maximum speed in nature, then it uses this speed to claim, with equation, that speed of light at the mass center of a gravity body to be the highest in nature.
		However, the potential existence of Hubble's Law is by no means a support to the Big Bang Theory.

	The Big Bang and Hubbles Law - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
		[/quote]If I have done the arithmetic correctly, a Hubble constant of 72 kilometers per second per kiloparsec converts to 2.3 * 10e-19 meters/sec/meter (a tenth of a billionth of a billionth) for the current rate of expansion.
		Since there are 4.4e+17 seconds in 14 billion years, the cumulative expansion since the big bang is 10 centimeters/meter assuming that the current measured rate is accurate and valid.
		It would not be much of a stretch to assume that the Hubble constant has always been a variable and that, due to the much greater density in the early universe and the time dilation attendant thereto, the Hubble coefficient may well have been much less than unity giving the universe a much greater age.

		I am confident that in the future, after more facts are obtained, some scientist is able to achieve it.
		However, calculation and the subsequent computer simulation seem to show that the onion model proposed in this book has accomplished one goal: confirmation of the long sought Hubble’s Law, although only qualitatively.
		Although Hubbles's Law appears feasible, it should also be easy for us to conclude that there exists no unique Hubble constant, because the distance of the celestial objects from a certain point changes daily while the speed of each of them can be maintained the same for a long time.
