Milton L. Humason with the 200-inch Palomar telescope in California seem to indicate that two faint clusters of galaxies about a billion light-years away are moving faster than in direct proportion to their distance. Their indicated speed is greater than one-third that of light. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. So anything a billion light-years away is seen on Earth as it was one billion years ago.

The tentative conclusion, therefore, is that a billion year ago the universe was expanding more rapidly that it is now. One widely held theory of creation is that everything in the universe was once compressed into an extremely dense mass consisting only of nuclear matter. Coamle Blaat Five to six billion years ago this mass exploded. Galaxies, stars and planets are the fast-flying fragments of that cosmic blast If later information confirms that the universe is, indeed, os-cilating, the inference will be that It has gone through many births and deaths. Since its latest re-birth five or six billion years ago, the universe hss been steadily evolving.

But if Its expansion rate is slowing, st some future time the universe will begin to contract again. And multiplied billions of years hence, all the stars and all the planets and, of course, all life will be extinguished in their present form and crushed into the primordial "nuclear 'fluid" from which they sprang, and will spring again. T.he new findings indicate that the rate of expansion is slowing down and that eventually period of contraction will ensue. This suggests an "oscillating" universe, its giant pulses constituting acts of creation followed by constrictive death. That the universe is expanding was first Indicated some three decades ago when examination of their light disclosed that galaxies were receding from one another at speeds up to one-fifth that of light.

The speed of light is miles a second. As far as they could see Into space through the 100-inch Mount Wilson telescope in California, astronomers found that the speed of recession increased ijL, direct proportion to the galaxies' distances.
