In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble discovered that Galaxies are moving away from us, and the farther they are, the faster they move. This means the universe is expanding.

1) If we construct a model to explain (approximate, if not possible to explain) spiritual philosophy, where a model consists of a set of assumptions that are accepted as true statements, such that it is beyond the scope of the model to test the validity of the truth of those statements using the same model. Then, other statements called hypotheses can be constructed, which can be placed in one of the 4 categories: provable/ disprovable/ unverifiable/ unable to be classified among the other 3 categories so far.Β πŸ“–βœ’οΈπŸ₯ΈπŸŒ·[…]
