Abbe Lemaitre originally proposed that the universe began from a singular point.
George Gamow expounded on the theory by proposing that the universe was extremely hot and dense at the time, and gave a possible explanation for the formation of elements from the point of the Big Bang.
No, George Gamow did not invent the Big Bang theory. The concept of the Big Bang was developed by multiple scientists, including Georges Lemaître, Alexander Friedmann, and George Gamow himself, based on Einstein's theory of general relativity. George Gamow did contribute to the refinement and popularization of the theory.
Some famous scientists who have theorized on the origin of the world include Albert Einstein, with his theory of general relativity, and Georges Lemaitre, who proposed the Big Bang theory. Stephen Hawking also made significant contributions to our understanding of the early universe with his work on black holes and the theory of everything.

The idea of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and had drifted apart over time.
Proposed the Big Bang Theory.
Georges Lemaitre proposed the Big bang in 1927.
Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre, doing so in 1927.
Georges Lemaitre proposed a concept which later, became popularised as 'The Big Bang Theory'
Jesuit priest George LeMaitre first proposed the idea that our Universe is expanding over time. Edwin Hubble provided the first astronomical evidence that LeMaitre was correct.

Jesuit priest George LeMaitre, in 1927, first proposed the idea that became known as the Big Bang. Einstein at first ridiculed the idea, but later accepted it after Edwin Hubble showed that distances between galaxies were, indeed, growing. George Gamow later developed Big Bang Cosmology, predicting (in 1946) a microwave background.
No, Stephen Hawking did not come up with the Big Bang theory. The theory was proposed by Georges Lemaître in the 1920s and further developed by scientists like Edwin Hubble and George Gamow. Hawking made significant contributions to our understanding of black holes and the nature of the universe, but not specifically to the Big Bang theory.
Georges Lemaitre
George Lemaître proposed the idea of an expanding universe, suggesting that the universe is continuously growing and evolving. He also proposed the concept of the "primeval atom," which eventually led to the theory of the Big Bang.
