论文摘要
乔治·莱梅特雷（Georges Lemaitre）在上个世纪进行了两次巨大的革命：一般相对论和量子力学之后，在宇宙学的发展中是宇宙学进步的重要贡献。在本世纪，他的主要出版物的影响已经从很少到巨大的发展。大爆炸世界已在宇宙学领域统治了六十年，在此期间，它已将范式地位作为整个宇宙学历史上最重要的事件。莱梅特雷（Lemaitre）是第一个估计宇宙扩张速率的宇宙学家，后来被称为哈勃常数。 2018年，国际天文联盟将哈勃法律重命名为哈勃 - 莱米特尔法律，以表彰他对扩张宇宙理论的基本贡献。这篇传记评论研究了：（a）影响他对科学哲学的方法，尤其是宇宙学的方法； （b）他与当代宇宙学家网络的互动； （c）1930年代初期，他退出宇宙学研究的情况以及进一步推广烟火宇宙的情况。
Georges Lemaitre was a remarkable contributor to the advancement of cosmology in the heady years following two great revolutions in theoretical physics in the last century: general relativity and quantum mechanics. In the present century, the impact of his key publications has advanced from very little to enormous. The Big Bang universe has reigned supreme in cosmology for sixty years, during which time it has acquired paradigmatic status as the most important event in the entire history of cosmology. Lemaitre was the first cosmologist to estimate the rate of expansion of the universe, later known as the Hubble constant. In 2018 the International Astronomical Union renamed the Hubble law as the Hubble-Lemaitre law in acknowledgement of his foundational contribution to the theory of the expanding universe. This biographical review examines: (a) factors that influenced his approach to the philosophy of science, particularly cosmology; (b) his engagement with the network of contemporary cosmologists; and (c) the circumstances of his withdrawal from research in cosmology and the further promotion of the fireworks universe after the early 1930s.
