Slipher was the first to notice this effect with light and to realize its potential importance for understanding the motions of the cosmos. Unfortunately no one much noticed him. [---1---] Slipher was unaware of Einstein's theory of relativity, and the world was equally unaware of Slipher. So his finding had no impact.
Glory instead would pass to [-2-] named Edwin Hubble. Hubble was born in 1889, ten years after Einstein, in a small Missouri town on the edge of the Ozarks and grew up there and in Wheaton, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. His father was a successful insurance executive, so life was always comfortable, and Edwin [-3-], too. He was a strong and gifted athlete, charming, smart, and [-4-] good-looking—"handsome almost to a fault," in the description of William H. Cropper, "an Adonis" in the words of another [-5-] . According to his own accounts, he also managed to fit into his life more or less constant acts of valor—[---6---] It all seemed too good to be true. It was. For all his gifts, Hubble was also an inveterate liar.
The Lowell Observatory, as you will recall, was a bit of an oddity thanks to Percival Lowell's obsession with Martian canals, which in the 1910s made it, in every sense, an outpost of astronomical endeavor. a large mass of ego enjoyed a wealth of physical endowments immensely admirer rescuing drowning swimmers, leading frightened men to safety across the battlefields of France, embarrassing world-champion boxers with knockdown punches in exhibition bouts.
斯萊弗第一個注意到光的這種作用，意識到這對將來理解宇宙的運動十分重要。不幸的是，誰也沒有太多注意他。你會記得，珀西瓦爾?洛厄爾在這里潛心研究過火星上的運河，因此洛厄爾天文臺是個比較獨特的地方。到了20世紀的前10年，它在任何意義上都成了研究天文的前哨陣地。斯萊弗不知道愛因斯坦的相對論，世界也同樣不知道斯萊弗，因此，他的發(fā)現沒有影響。 　　榮譽反而屬于一個非常自負的大人物，他的名字叫埃德溫?哈勃。哈勃1889年生于歐扎克高原邊緣的一個密蘇里州小鎮(zhèn)，比愛因斯坦小10歲；他在那里及芝加哥郊區(qū)伊利諾伊的惠頓長大。他的父親是一名成功的保險公司經理，因此家里的生活總是很優(yōu)裕。埃德溫還天生有個好的身體。他是個有實力、有天賦的運動員，魅力十足，時髦瀟灑，相貌堂堂--用威廉?H.克羅珀的話來說，"英俊到了不適當的程度"；用另一位崇拜者的話來說，"美得像美神阿多尼斯"。用他自己的話來說，他生活中還經常干一些見義勇為的事--搶救落水的人；領著嚇壞了的人穿越法國戰(zhàn)場，把他們帶到安全的地方；在表演賽中幾下子就把世界冠軍級的拳擊手打倒在地，弄得他們不勝難堪。這一切都好得簡直令人難以置信，但都是真的。盡管才華出眾，但哈勃也是個頑固不化的說謊大王。
