Abstract
The expanding universe
The fact that the vast majority of galaxies have a spectral redshift can be interpreted as implying that the universe is expanding. This interpretation stems from the Doppler effect in which the relative motion of an emitter and a detector produces a frequency shift of the detected light with respect to the emitted light.
