Olbers.27 paradox Hubble's law
the expansion of space summarized big bang interpretation of hubble s law relevant old conundrum known olbers paradox: if universe infinite, static, , filled uniform distribution of stars, every line of sight in sky end on star, , sky bright surface of star. however, night sky largely dark. since 17th century, astronomers , other thinkers have proposed many possible ways resolve paradox, accepted resolution depends in part on big bang theory , in part on hubble expansion. in universe exists finite amount of time, light of finite number of stars has had chance reach yet, , paradox resolved. additionally, in expanding universe, distant objects recede us, causes light emanating them redshifted , diminished in brightness.
