Document Summary

All existing matter and space as a whole. A system of billions of stars, gas and dust. System containing billions of stars along with gas and dust held together by gravity. System containing millions of stars and dust held together by inertia. System containing all known stars held together by gravitational attraction. System contain many worlds and stars held together by the strong nuclear force. Olber"s paradox conflicts with infinite and static universe based on the observation that the night sky is dark. Hubble"s law can be described as explaining the following: The reason the universe is constant and remains at a steady state. The rate at which a galaxy is moving is proportional to its distance from us. The importance of the big bang theory as it relates to habitable planets. The formation of galaxies is directly attributed to the gravitational constant. The pitch is lower and the wavelength shorter. The pitch is higher and the wavelength longer.
