Edwin Hubble Discovers the Universe
Credit:
Mt. Wilson Archive Carnegie Institution of Washington Explanation: No person in history has had greater impact in determining the extent of our universe than Edwin Hubble . From proving that other galaxies existed to proving that galaxies move apart from one another , Hubble's work defined our place in the cosmos. Hubble lived from 1889 to 1953 and is shown above posing with the 48-inch telescope on Palomar Mountain and his famous pipe. In memory of his great work, the Orbiting Space Telescope was named after him . The rate of the universe's expansion is now parameterized by a quantity known as Hubble's constant . A modern debate on the value of Hubble's constant took place in 1996. Tomorrow's picture: A Doomed Dust Disk Archive Index Search ... USRA

League of
Silent Flight
Vice President
Edwin Wilson
I am 52 years old and married to my wife Betty. I have two children Michael (19) and Elizabeth (16). I also have two stepsons Jon and Tom. I have worked at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant for 27+ years. For twenty years of those years I worked in Quality Control. My current job is in Statistical Process Control where I work with warranty concerns on the Explorers, Mountaineers, and Sport Tracks that we build. My modeling history goes back 42 years to when I was nine. I built many of a Comet rubber stick plane in those days. I even had to ride a bus downtown to the hobby shop to buy my supplies. Eventually I moved up to 1/2A Control Line and later into the .35 class of planes. When I was in high school I did volunteer work at a local boy's club which had a small model plane group. When I started collage I was hired by the East End Boy's Club to tutor and teach crafts, and run the model club, which was called "Fly'n Tigers". The tigers were regular attendees at regional contests and did quite well for themselves. In 1974 a buddy of mine built a R/C glider and I had to try one too. It took us almost six months to get either plane to thermal as we were teaching ourselves to fly along the way. One cool fall day we drifted over a building on the University of Louisville Shelby Campus and got into the air coming from the furnaces that heated the building. That flight lasted about 20 minutes and from then on I was hooked.

    Thales of Miletus
    Born: about 624 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
    Died: about 547 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
    He was a pre-Socratic philosopher, who specialized in geometry. After being a merchant toward the beginning of his life, his interests shifted to astronomy, then to philosophy, and then to mathematics. Thales calculated the height of the Great Pyramid in Egypt with the sun and a stick. He is also known for his five geometric theorems that state (1) a closed angle circumscribed in a semicircle is a right angle, (2) a diameter bisects a circle, (3) if two sides of a triangle are equal then their bases are equal and vice versa (the definition of an isosceles triangle), (4) the vertical angle theorem, and (5) the theorem for similar triangles: if two triangles have equal angles, then any ratio of corresponding sides has the same value as any other (which is the basis for trigonometry). No direct writings are attributed to him, for they may have been lost or his findings were only recorded by others.

    EDWIN HOWLETT WILSON
    From "The Storied Province of Quebec Past and Present"
    Ed. Col. William Wood, Dominion Publishing Company, Limited, Toronto 1931

    Prominant business executive and citizen of Montreal, Edwin H. Wilson has had a career of usefulness to the greater community. He is widely known in the Dominion. Edwin H. Wilson was born September 6, 1875, in Montreal, son of James Crockett Wilson and Jeanie Kilgour , and received his academic instruction in the public schools of his native city. In 1892, at the age of sixteen, he left Montreal to work in his father's paper mill, at Lachute. He engaged actively in the workings of all departments therin, beginning as a junior clerk, acquainting himself with the business from all points of view. in 1899, at his father's death, he took charge of the mills. His brother, Frank Howard Wilson , two years his senior, took charge of head office in Montreal. In 1893 mill production was doubled and again in 1901. In 1913, the Wilson plant at 1061 St. Alexander Street, Montreal, was built, and today, in this plant, are employed five hundred workers. There are other units for paper manufacture and sale in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Lachute and St. Jerome. The company is the largest of it's category in the Dominion. They manufacture wrapping paper, paper bags, toilet paper,envelopes etcetera; and the volume and mill efficiency attained has been largely due to the ability of Mr. Wilson. In 1928, on the illness of his brother, Edwin H. Wilson became president and assumed full charge of the corperation's business. He has continued in charge, and it's affairs have prospered well under his direction.

Wilson Archive Edwin Hubble, Ph.D. Dr. Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) is probably one of the most famous observational astronomers of the 20th century. He is credited with many amazing discoveries and his findings revolutionized celestial theories. His research continues to form the basis of current astronomical research. Dr. Hubble was born in Marshfield, Missouri, to Virginia Lee James from Virginia City, Nevada, and John Powell Hubble from Missouri. He received his BS from the University of Chicago in 1910 and was awarded a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University in the same year where he went on to earn an MA. In 1913 he passed the bar and practiced law until he gave it up for astronomy. In 1914 he returned to the Yerkes Observatory at the University of Chicago to work on his doctoral work in astronomy. In 1917 he received his Ph.D. in astronomy. He was invited to join the Mt. Wilson observatory staff in Pasadena, California, but the day after he finished his doctoral thesis and took the oral examination he enlisted with the US Army to take part in World War I. He was commissioned a captain and later attained the rank of major. He was discharged from the Army in 1919 and immediately moved to Mt. Wilson to accept the position he'd been offered before the war.

    ed wilson got shafted
    by Preston Peet (ptpeet@cs.com) - October 18, 2000
    In 1977, Edwin P. Wilson sold Libyan dictator Moammar Quaddaffi, 42 000 pounds (20 tons) of C-4, one of the most powerful explosives around, and perfect for terror operations Libya was on the US list of nations sponsoring terrorists, and was therefore off limits to this kind of business. After a worldwide, 5-year operation to bring Wilson to "justice," prosecutors and investigators for the US government finally got him, and put him in prison for fifty-two years. They committed perjury to do it. The US Department of Justice announced on April 14th, 2000 that it is going to open an investigation into federal prosecutors' misconduct in obtaining a conviction (February 5th, 1983) of Wilson for selling the C-4 to Quaddaffi. The disclosure came about as a response to Wilson's filing a motion to hold seventeen current and former CIA and 'Department of Justice' ('DoJ') officials in contempt of court for not informing his defense that the prosecution was knowingly using a false document in prosecuting Wilson. "The allegations of this case have been referred to (the 'Office of Professional Responsibility'), which will conduct a thorough investigation," says a footnote at the end of the eight page motion filed by the government. The 'San Francisco Examiner' reported (April 14th, 2000) that 'DoJ' spokesperson Myron Marlin says that the 'DoJ' will not actually investigate the prosecutors' criminal use of false information during the trial until Wilson's appeal over his conviction is "settled."

    58. Edwin Hubble
    the greatest observational astronomer of our century, edwin P. Hubble was a staffastronomer at Carnegie Institution's Mount wilson Observatory, California
    http://www.ciw.edu/Hubble.html
    EDWIN HUBBLE Probably the greatest observational astronomer of our century, Edwin P. Hubble was a staff astronomer at Carnegie Institution's Mount Wilson Observatory, California, from 1919 until his death in 1953. His arrival coincided roughly with the completion of the Mount Wilson 100-inch Hooker Telescope, then the world's most powerful telescope. Hubble's observations in 1923-1924 with the Hooker Telescope established beyond doubt that the fuzzy "nebulae" seen earlier with less powerful telescopes were not part of our galaxy, as had been assumed, but were galaxies themselves, external to the Milky Way. Subsequently, with Milton Humanson, Hubble discovered the velocity-distance relation, which led to the concept of the expanding universe. The general picture of the universe established in his work remains at the heart of present-day cosmology. The orbiting Space Telescope is named in his honor. Biographical information: Hubble was born in 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri. His undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago emphasized mathematics and astronomy, and led to the B.S. degree in 1910. He spent the next three years as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, where he studied in the field of law and received the M.A. degree. He returned to astronomy at the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago, where he earned the Ph.D. in 1917. Hubble was offered a staff position by George Ellery Hale, the founder and director of Carnegie Institution's Mount Wilson Observatory, near Pasadena, California. But before accepting, Hubble served with the U.S. Army in France, where he rose to the rank of Major. He returned to America in 1919 and accepted the Mount Wilson appointment. He remained with Carnegie until his death in 1953. Shortly before his death, Palomar's 200-inch Hale Telescope was completed. Hubble was the first to use it. He died of stroke on September 28, 1953.

    Edwin Hubble
    He saw a vast universe beyond the Milky Way, then found the first hints that it began with a Big Bang BY MICHAEL D. LEMONICK During the past 100 years, astronomers have discovered quasars, pulsars, black holes and planets orbiting distant suns. But all these pale next to the discoveries Edwin Hubble made in a few remarkable years in the 1920s. At the time, most of his colleagues believed the Milky Way galaxy, a swirling collection of stars a few hundred thousand light-years across, made up the entire cosmos. But peering deep into space from the chilly summit of Mount Wilson, in Southern California, Hubble realized that the Milky Way is just one of millions of galaxies that dot an incomparably larger setting. Hubble went on to trump even that achievement by showing that this galaxy-studded cosmos is expandinginflating majestically like an unimaginably gigantic balloona finding that prompted Albert Einstein to acknowledge and retract what he called "the greatest blunder of my life." Hubble did nothing less, in short, than invent the idea of the universe and then provide the first evidence for the Big Bang theory, which describes the birth and evolution of the universe. He discovered the cosmos, and in doing so founded the science of cosmology. Hubble's astronomical triumphs earned him worldwide scientific honors and made him the toast of Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940sthe confidant of Aldous Huxley and a friend to Charlie Chaplin, Helen Hayes and William Randolph Hearst. Yet nobody (except perhaps Hubble) could have imagined such a future when the 23-year-old Oxford graduate began his first job, in New Albany, Ind., in 1913.

    Goulden, Joseph C. "The Rogue of Rogues." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 1, no. 1 (Spring 1986): 76-82. Goulden argues for a law requiring former intelligence officials, civilian or military, to report for five years after leaving the government for whom they are working and the nature of their duties. Writers certainly are expected come up with "solutions" to the problems they raise; nevertheless, Goulden's argument does not have either the force of practicality or necessity on its side.
