George Smoot

    George Fitzgerald Smoot III je astrofyzik a kozmológ. Jeho prelomová práca na satelite Cosmic Background Explorer, ktorý presne meral reliktové žiarenie, bola kľúčová pri upevnení teórie Veľkého tresku. Tento výskum transformoval kozmológiu na presnú vedu, za čo získal Nobelovu cenu za fyziku. Smootove príspevky ponúkajú hlboký pohľad na vznik a vývoj nášho vesmíru.
