George Gamow
George Gamow was a prominent Soviet-American physicist and cosmologist known for his work on the Big Bang theory and the development of the theory of nucleosynthesis, which describes how elements are formed in stars. He famously proposed that the universe was born from a hot, dense state and left behind a cosmic microwave background radiation, a prediction that was later confirmed, solidifying his place in the history of astrophysics.
