Chronology of CBR. predictions

Charles Édouard Guillaume predicted 6.1K in 1896.
in the book Les rayons X (X-Rays)

Erich Regener predicted 2.8K in 1934
in the book "Aufnahmen des ultravioletten Sonnenspektums in der Stratosphäre und vertikale Ozonverteilun"

Max Born & Walther Nernst in 1937 predicted 2.8K
while researching Quantim theory

Andrew McKellar in 1941 predicted 2.4K
first estimation of the temperature of interstellar gas (and therefore deep space)
in the book "Evidence for the Molecular Origin of Some Hitherto Unidentified Interstellar Lines"

Ralph Alpher, Robert Herman and George Gamow
in 1946 predicted 5K

Ralph Alpher, Robert Herman and George Gamow
in 1949 re-estimate the temperature at 28K.

Ralph Alpher, Robert Herman and George Gamow
in 1953 repredicted 5K & also 7K
Alpher-Bethe-Gamow theory

Erwin Finlay-Freundlich predicted 2.3K in 1953
"tired light model" theory {alternative explanation of the red shifts observed in galaxies}

Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold and Fred Hoyle
predicted 2.78K in 1955 {Steady state universe} theory

George Gamow predicted 50K in 1961 (assuming a 3-billion year old Universe)
in the book "Biography of Physics, Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science"


in closing GAMOW was picking numbers for the lotto!!!!

Your long list of "predictions" is incorrect. Many of the dates are wrong. Before 1948, there was no physical cosmology. It was armchair theorizing. You could easily have found the correct dates and interpretations of what these different philosophers and scientists actually did without leaving your computer.

" before 1948 there was no physical cosmology" ?

what were Berklins experiments? Tesla's experiments?

[AmBotanischenGarten]

This chronology is erroneous in numerous aspects. I recommend episode 8 of History Channel's The Universe series (first season).

[phuktard]

Sorry only made it 10 min into it {was laughing much to hard} really ,, gravity disks???? show me an experiment for this one ...please

[phuktard]

episode 8 of hc's the universe 1st season is about Saturn..... when someone tries to tell me that Saturn will float in water .... I stop watching

[AmBotanischenGarten]

"Experiments" are not ex cathedra physics. Physical cosmology applied physics to the problems of the idea of an ever expanding universe and its origins, e.g., nucleosynthesis. Some good source materials abound, but you prefer to put up a lot of erroneous misinformation (I apologize about the episode number), I hope that anyone who really wants to learn some serious cosmology will skip your channel.

[AmBotanischenGarten]

Episode 14 is "Beyond the Big Bang." Instead of your ad hominem attack you could have discovered this in about 20 seconds on the aetv website. I think I've done about the best I can for you.

[AmBotanischenGarten]

"Experiments" are just that, experiments. They are not physics. Physical cosmology refers to a different arena. Read Helge Kragh.

[AmBotanischenGarten]

I am talking about the episode called "Beyond the Big Bang"

[AmBotanischenGarten]

Gamow was a jolly man who had fun with physics. This does not discredit his intellectual achievements. From 1948-51 he seriously doubted the CMBR theory, and then set about to calculate something himself. You have some serious reading to do. Alternatively, delete this whole channel, as it serves to misinform a public that with only take in information through audio-visual teaching methods.

[AmBotanischenGarten]

So, you didn't watch it. You do not have a clear understanding of science and scientific theory progresses at even a rudimentary level. Incidentally, Bondi's pronouncement of the Steady State Theory was in 1948. R, Alpher's dissertation was the first physical (not philosophical) model of an expanding universe, also in 1948. With R. Herman, calculations of the CMBR were made using known parameters. Steady Staters said any "fossil" radiation would refute their theory. That is what happened.
