I am the author of Port Vintages (2018), and am working on a second edition. (You really don’t know where this is going.) So am reading and adding information from some further issues of Wine and Food, “A Gastronomical Quarterly Edited by André L. Simon”. Issue “No. 16: Winter Number 1937” has, pp82–3, a description of a dinner — all issues featured dinners — this one on 13 October 1937, in San Marino, California. “The hosts: Dr. and Mrs. Mixsell.” “The guests: The Dowager Lady Swaythling, Dr. Millikan, Mr. Hubble the astronomer, and others.” The description after says nothing of E.H., nor of his works. It does praise most of the wines.
If an assiduous researcher into the life of “Mr. Hubble the astronomer” should need these details, message me and pictures will follow. JDAWiseman (talk) 21:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"However, many cosmologists and astronomers (including Hubble himself) failed to recognize the work of Lemaître; Hubble remained doubtful about Lemaître's interpretation for his entire life.”
Does anyone wonder why so much is unexplained in our universe? Erasing this statement is why. Whoever did it wants the Big Bang theory to live forever destroying every observation made. The Einstein phrase "you can't solve a problem using the same logic that created it" applies here. The worst horror this theory is creating is the assumption fusion will work. 173.95.132.165 (talk) 15:23, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The text of the article says Hubble rose to the rank of Major, but the reference is to a newspaper article dated 11 Aug 1918, whose headline indicates that he was promoted to Lt. Colonel. However, the link, https://www.newspapers.com/search/#lnd=1&query=Major+Edwin+Hubble+is+Made+Lieutenant+Colonel&t=965, goes to a search page on newspapers.com, and I think the link is bad, because no results are found; the newspaper filter is "Loading...". There doesn't appear to be a Springfield Missouri Republican newspaper at all; there is a Springfield Weekly Republican, but without such an article. There is, however, an article with that headline in the Springfield News Leader on the indicated date. (I don't have an account at that website, but it shows up in search results.) So, it appears he was a Lt. Col.
However, Hubble himself in 1919 referred to himself as a Major, in a letter to Edwin Brant Frost. https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1990ASPC...10....1O/0000012.000.html; the citation also refers to his honorable discharge certificate and quartermaster voucher record. Was the referenced Lt. Col. perhaps a temporary promotion? (Maybe it says in that article, behind the paywall.) 163.116.157.64 (talk) 18:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
