[[Edwin Hubble]] found evidence to support Lemaître's theory two years later.

Most physicists, including [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]], disagreed with Lemaître at first, as they thought the universe existed forever in a steady state.  But they subsequently changed their opinion, agreeing with Lemaître.
