Georges Lemaitre
Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître is a Belgian Catholic priest, mathematician, astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He was the first to hypothesize that the degradation of neighboring galaxies could be explained by an expanding universe, which was confirmed by Edwin Hubble's observations shortly thereafter. He first deduced the "Hubble Law", now known by the AIU as the Hubble-Lemaître Law and published the first estimate of the Hubble constant in 1927, two years before the Hubble paper. Lemaître also proposed the "Big Bang theory" of the origin of the universe, calling it the "theory of primitive atoms", and later calling it "the beginning of the world".
