which of the following statements gives adequate justification for disproving einstein’s static universe theory.
hubble’s telescope was able to travel through space and take more accurate pictures.
hubble used telescopes to see stars and galaxies in space and found evidence that they are moving away.
einstein was known as a genius, so his theories must be accurate.
einstein used calculations and not a telescope, so his theory must have been wrong.

Explanation:

To disprove Einstein's static universe theory (which assumed the universe was static), evidence of cosmic expansion is needed. Hubble used telescopes to observe stars/galaxies and found they are moving away (indicating an expanding universe), which contradicts the static theory. The other options are illogical: Hubble’s telescope doesn’t travel through space, Einstein’s genius or use of calculations don’t prove/disprove his theory.

Answer:

Hubble used telescopes to see stars and galaxies in space and found evidence that they are moving away.
