In 1922 Alexander Friedman, formulated a theory that the universe was expanding, governed by a set of equations he developed now known as the Friedmann equations. The same theory was stated by the scientist George Lemaitre in 1927 from some other observations. Two years later, in 1929, scientist Edwin P Hubble confirmed this theory, that the universe is expanding by astronomical observations. Today, through numerous observations, the scientific community have unequivocally accepted the fact that the universe is expanding. The 'universe is expanding' means that the space itself is expanding. For example, the universe is expanding like an inflating balloon. As the balloon expands, the galaxies move away from each other, just as the two adjacent points on the balloon m...
