Rather than offering chronologically ordered encyclopedic knowledge of a lifetime, only some of the most striking events of the existence of this well-known scientist are here pointed out. Sections: Life; Man of laws; Interest in philosophy; Astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist; The discovery of the expansion of the Universe; Reasonable doubt about the expansion; The astropolitician. Apart from his scientific ideas of cosmological scope, his worldview has been that of a pragmatic thinker with training in law, who converts science into a large company and the scientific hypothesis into a convenient truth that deserves to be defended and arrogated, although deep down it is known that such reasons are not exclusive or original and that there are also reasons to defend the opposite thing. ------ M\'as que ofrecer un conocimiento enciclop\'edico cronol\'ogicamente ordenado de toda una vida, se\~nalar\'e solamente algunos de los eventos m\'as llamativos de la existencia del ampliamente reconocido cient\'ifico.

Aparte de sus ideas cient\'ificas de alcance cosmol\'ogico, su cosmovisi\'on ha sido la de un pensador pragm\'atico con formaci\'on de abogado, que convierte la ciencia en una gran empresa y la hip\'otesis cient\'ifica en una verdad conveniente que merece defenderse y arrogarse, aunque en el fondo se sepa que no son exclusivas ni originales tales razones y que hay tambi\'en razones para defender lo contrario., Comment: 8 pages, in Spanish, to be published as a chapter in "La cosmovisi\'on de los grandes cient\'ificos del siglo XX.
