|quote=He also discovered that the universe is expanding. ... Some people think that Hubble is famous because here was a bunch of coffee stains at piece of graph paper and he was able to draw a straight line through it.}}</ref> Although Hubble hastily concluded, based on only 20 [[galaxy|galaxies]], that the redshift of the galaxies appears to be a linear function of their distance, there is also a disturbing evidence that this linear relationship does not describe the facts entirely. Several authors made a point that Hubble's observations suggested a quadratic rather than linear relation. After research of [[quasar]]s, it has been discovered that if one trends apparent brightness against the redshifts as for galaxies, the result is unexpected diagram with scattered points instead of smooth curve as it is the case of galaxies. This seems to indicate that the quasars do not follow the Hubble Law as do the most other objects. According to other authors including Capria, the value of Hubble constant depends on the cosmological model, and [[John Hartnett|J.Hartnett]] claims that the Hubble constant is not truly constant but it has shown up that there is an inherent scale dependence to its value. Consequently, new theories emerged such as [[Moshe Carmeli|M.Carmeli]]'s theory of [[Cosmological special relativity]] where the Hubble law is rewritten in a new invariant way.
