Who propose the big bang theory?

Answer 1

Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was the first to show, scientifically and mathematically, that our Universe could be subject to the laws of General Relativity and be in a constant state of expansion. Einstein initially ridiculed LeMaitre's idea, but Edwin Hubbell showed that LeMaitre's ideas were completely correct. Einstein later admitted that his own solution was his "biggest blunder."

Einstein and Hubbell are famous throughout the world (and justifiably so) but, for some reason, Jesuit priest LeMaitre has been forgotten.

Answer 2

Alexander Friedmann was the first to take the equations of Special Relativity and show that one solution -- amongst others he found -- was an expanding universe. His effort was purely mathematical, and he made no claim that his solutions had any relation to our actual Universe.

Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was the first to scientifically develop the idea that our Universe was, indeed, expanding, and that this fact would explain red shift of distant "nebula" (his words, these were later found to be galaxies). He later suggested that our entire Universe was once incredibly dense and hot, and expanded to its present state.

Answer 3

The Big Bang theory was proposed by Belgian priest and astronomer Georges Lemaître in 1927, based on his mathematical calculations of the expanding universe and the idea that the universe began as a singularity. It was further developed and popularized by American astronomer Edwin Hubble in the 1920s and 1930s.

Answer 4

Lemaitre proposed what is now widely known as big bang theory.

Answer 5

Georges LeMaitre, a Belgian physicist, proposed the Big Bang Theory in 1927, but it was not known as the Big Bang Theory until later.

Answer 6

Georges Lemaître(1894-1966) is considered the Father of the Big Bang.

Answer 7

Georges LeMaitre, though he didn't call it that; the term "Big Bang" was coined by (probably) Fred Hoyle, a proponent of a different theory.

Answer 8

Georges Lemaitre
