Humason and Hubble

This is a recreation of the story on Mount Wilson Observatory, Humason and Hubble´s work: the Doppler effect. No, Humason did not marry Hubble´s daughter ;-) The video is almost 10 minutes.

It's surprising how people who cling to their dreams can come to these things make tremendous value, as was the case of Humason, with the tutoring of Hubble,They were the discoverers of the key reasons "EFFECT DOOPLER" for the accuracy of the "Big Bang theory".

Uncover that the universe is expanded, and that we can calculate the velocity of celestial bodies that are close or move away in relation to the intensity of the waves or tendency towards a red or blue.

an amazing example of how you can reach your goals with hard work.
Humanson and and Hubble discovered that the galaxies are receding from each other, measure their speed and concluded that our universe is expanding, and theirs discoveries are used to support the Big Bang Theory

Thanks to the work and the dedication of many persons along our history we are what we are nowadays.
It is not necessary to have a lot of money or to have a high economic level to achieve our dreams and goals or to be recognized. With the effort and the work it is possible to come far and manage to be someone important in the world.
An example of this they are Humason and Hubblela, who discovered Hubble's law according to which the galaxies move away more fast beyond they find, which later would be considered to be a test of the expansion of the Universe.

This video is very informative, very good reproduction of the history of these two great astronomers and scientists who through their contributions we have a theory on which to believe. After reading the "Doppler Effect" we have some idea of the work and activities of Humason and Hubble, but there is nothing better than to observe with our own eyes how everything happened and play effectively the images that our minds had imagined along the reading; thanks prof. to provide us through this source material that can help us to internalize the knowledge gained in class.
The Big Bang, today is the most popular theory in the scientific community, which is significantly explain the formation, development, evolution and destiny of our universe, we can say even that they are the two mains researchers pioneers of this scientific idea. Of course, there are still doubts, is not completely accepted, but the facts and other phenomenon point to the likelihood that this theory is the closest to the real event. It is important to note that our universe is an immense space very mysterious, it hidden wonders unimaginable by the human mind, is in our hands to make a significant contribution to science to achieve one day understand the behavior of this particular dimension.

Cada vez me sorprendo mas de todas las cosas que son capaces de crear los científicos con constante dedicación y poniendo en practica su creatividad...Gracias a estas personas como humason y hubble es que se han podido aclarar todas esas dudas que siempre hemos tenido sobre nuestro universo, galaxia,los planetas, etc... Felicito a estas dos personas por ese aparato tan extraordinario que crearon, el cual permite conocer la velocidad con que se alejan las galaxias y su ubicación con respecto a nosotros (observadores)

It`s really amazing how you can reach everything you want, as we saw in the video they had to spend many days searching and making experiments to get the answer and the prove that they wanted.

I liked the video, it was good because you could follow the story and with all the images you could imagine how it was, also to get an idea of everything that happened there. I didn’t know about all the processes and steps that Scientifics had to do in order to use a telescope.

Those Scientifics were doing what they loved to do, so they had success. I Think that works for everyone in the world, because if you are doing something that you love and really like you`ll try to do it in the best form you can, in opposite, if you don’t want to do something or you are forced to do it, you won´t get really existed and probably won`t have any success.

this is an example that nothing is impossible.. all the goals that we have can be reach with hard work.. is very interesting the discovers of hubble and humanson because the effect doopler supports the big bang theory.. also the video is easier to understand that the read of the guide..

It's amazing that humans can do must of the things that they prupose. Hubble for example with many observations of the space they discovered many things like the moons of saturno. As we know he is famous for the Hubble telescope that helps many astronomers to find new characteristics of the universe.

The video is very informative and easy understanding. Success is achieved through a constant struggle and them with their experiences show that when there is a goal we intend to continue to achieve our goals. Science progresses more and more, and it is amazing as the discoveries of these scientists certified by the Doppler effect of the big bang theory

people are just too amazing to think that there is not only what we see if there are many things beyond the naked eye and know that the universe is expanding and we know esactitud speed relationship of the bodies with the colors, this Many theories explain not answered the question of the bing bang theory

he is really impressive to where they can take to the dreams… the important thing to us is the dedication and effort, the desire that we must to make the things reality and coverall if we create in same us… with the aid of Humason and Hubble descubrio that the extended universe this and we can only know the speed of the celestial bodies that are closing or to separate with respect to the intensity of the waves or the red tendency towards or a blue one, being based on the theory of Big Bang. =P

i'm honest, i don't understand it so much. but i think its incredible how those two man work to hard making a big change in the astrophisics (i dont know if is well written) history. i hope to be someday somebody like them. everytime i learn more about the doopler effect and the red shifts.
