Scientific theories are explanations that are developed through repeated observation and testing, and can be proven true or false. The Hubble Expansion Theory shows that the universe is expanding, with galaxies moving away from each other at a speed calculated by the Hubble Law. This theory has been tested and observed by scientists over many years, including Edwin Hubble's 1929 measurements showing that nearly all galaxies are receding from Earth, indicating the universe is expanding overall. Astronomers have also used parallax to measure distances to stars and further confirm the expansion of space between galaxies.
