Which universe theory did Adam Riess contribute to significantly?
Steady State Theory
Big Bang Theory
Multiverse Theory
Expanding Universe Theory
Answer
The Expanding Universe Theory was originally proposed by Edwin Hubble, who discovered that the further away a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us. This suggests that the universe is expanding. Adam Riess made a significant contribution to this theory by measuring the distances to faraway galaxies and showing that they are moving away from us at a rate that is consistent with Hubble's Law.
