Discovering the theory that Einstein was ignored

A manuscript that has been ignored by scientists for decades has revealed that Einstein once had a theory to replace the Big Bang we now know, rather than proposing a theory in which the universe is gradually and permanently expanding. The books recently mined, written in 1931, are reminiscent of the theory advocated by Fred hoil, a British physicist for nearly 20 years. Einstein quickly gave up the idea, but the manuscript revealed that he had continued to hesitate to accept the theory that the universe was built in a single explosion.

The evidence of the Big Bang theory first appeared in 1920s, when the US-based astronomy, Edwin harber, and others found that distant galaxies were far away and space was expanding. This seems to mean that in the past, the content in the observability universe has been very intensive, similar to the hot "raw broth ".

However, from the late 1940s S, hoil believes that space can be expanded and maintained at an approximate constant density forever. It can achieve this by continuously adding new substances and basic particles spontaneously popping up from the space. Particles will then converge to form galaxies and stars, which will only appear when appropriate speeds occupy additional space created by space expansion. Hoil's cosmic view is always infinite, so its size does not change with its expansion. It is in a "stable state ".

On the surface of the latest file: Einstein elaborated on the same point of view a long time ago. "If the density of a substance remains unchanged, it must constantly form new particles," he wrote. It is generally believed that this manuscript was written by Einstein on his journey to California in 1931-partly because it was written on a note produced in the United States.

This manuscript is stored in the well-known archives of Einstein in Jerusalem and can be viewed at Will on the archives website-but it is incorrectly classified as the first draft of another paper by Einstein. "He almost fell down from his chair," comark, a physicist at the Irish science and technology Waterford Institute of Technology, realized what this article meant. He and his colleagues have published this discovery and translated Einstein's German manuscript into English on the pre-printed arXiv Server (C. O 'raifeartaigh et L. preprint AAT) and delivers this article to the European Physics magazine.

Simon midton, a researcher at the study, is a science historian at the University of Cambridge, England. At 2005, he wrote an autobiography of Fred hoil, "Life Science", saying: "This discovery confirms that hoil is not a weirdo." He participated in a debate in the physics field on this issue. While the fact that Einstein once extended the stability model makes hoil's remarks more credible ." If hoil knew about Einstein's manuscript, he would surely beat his opponent's "O 'raifeartaigh" with the fact.

Although hoil's model was eventually kicked out of astronomical observation, it at least shows that this problem has always existed in mathematics, revolutionizing Einstein's general theory of relativity provides a possible theoretical mechanism for spontaneous generation of matter. Einstein's unpublished manuscripts indicate that at first he believed that such mechanisms did not need to be modified and could be produced by his original theory. But then he realized that he had made a mistake in computing, and o'raifeartaigh and his team's remarks showed that, when he wants to correct it -- mark it with a pen of different colors -- he may think that this idea won't work, and everything will be put on hold.

This manuscript may have been on the rise for a moment, and then I was excited to write it. But then I found myself fooled by myself and I had no desire to write it, james peblles, a physicist at Princeton University in New Jersey, speculated. Since then it seems that there is no record that Einstein once again mentioned these computations.

However, the fact that Einstein tried to use the concept of steady state shows that he had never agreed with the theory of the Big Bang since he first discovered that the theory of the Big Bang was hateful. Even as other theoretical scientists once said, this theory is his universal natural result. (Other major researchers, such as Martin Arthur, a famous astronomy at the University of Cambridge, have been skeptical about the Big Bang theory because it originated from a mysterious moment ). When the writer found evidence of the expansion of the Universe, Einstein had to give up his insistence on the static universe, and the steady-state universe became the next best choice, said o'raifeartaigh and his collaborators.

The manuscript explains that while Einstein accepted the theory of extended space, but he is not satisfied with the theory that the universe is changing at any time. "
