- Georges Lemaître
He theorized that the universe began from a
2 Player
single primordial atom. The idea received major 65%
boosts from Edwin Hubble's observations that
galaxies are speeding away from us in all
directions, as well as from the 1960s discovery
of cosmic microwave radiation—interpreted as
echoes of the big bang—by Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson.
