Hubble's law is the statement in physical cosmology that the redshift in light coming from distant galaxies is proportional to their distance. The law was first formulated by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason in 1929 after nearly a decade of observations. It is considered the first observational basis for the expanding space paradigm and today serves as one of the most often cited pieces of evidence in support of the Big Bang.

Hubbles law is the greatest error ever.
It says that the universe expands accelerated.
Non sence due to wrong interpretation of the redshift.

galaxies. The distance a galaxy is from you multiplied by Hubble's constant gives the velocity km s-1/Mpc

well there's Martindale-Hubble. It's a directory of lawyers. Ha Ha.
