Detailed explanation-1: -Hubble’s law, also known as the Hubble–Lemaître law, is the observation in physical cosmology that galaxies are moving away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distance. In other words, the farther they are, the faster they are moving away from Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Appealing to the new quantum theory of matter, Lemaître argued that the physical universe was initially a single particle-the “primeval atom” as he called it-which disintegrated in an explosion, giving rise to space and time and the expansion of the universe that continues to this day.
Detailed explanation-3: -Few people took notice of Lemaître’s conclusions, but one person who did was Einstein himself, who told him: “Your calculations are correct, but your grasp of physics is abominable.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Georges Lemaître, (born July 17, 1894, Charleroi, Belgium-died June 20, 1966, Leuven), Belgian astronomer and cosmologist who formulated the modern big-bang theory, which holds that the universe began in a cataclysmic explosion of a small, primeval “super-atom.”
