SUMMARY

Jean's creation refers to James Jeans' steady state theory of cosmology, which posits a continuous creation of matter in the universe. This theory, proposed in 1928, was foundational in British cosmology alongside Arthur Eddington. However, it was largely dismissed following the 1965 discovery of the cosmic microwave background, which provided strong evidence for the Big Bang theory. For further insights, refer to "Cosmology and Controversy: The Historical Development of Two Theories of the Universe" by Helge Kragh.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic cosmological theories
  • Familiarity with the concept of the cosmic microwave background
  • Knowledge of James Jeans and Arthur Eddington's contributions to cosmology
  • Ability to interpret historical scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the cosmic microwave background on cosmological theories
  • Study James Jeans' contributions to cosmology in detail
  • Explore the evolution of the steady state theory and its critiques
  • Read "Cosmology and Controversy: The Historical Development of Two Theories of the Universe" by Helge Kragh
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy students, cosmologists, and anyone interested in the historical development of cosmological theories and their implications for understanding the universe.

Hi Mabs! Welcome to PF! :smile:

looks like James Jeans' steady state theory of creation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jeans#Background …
Jeans, along with Arthur Eddington, is a founder of British cosmology. In 1928 Jeans was the first to conjecture a steady state cosmology based on a hypothesized continuous creation of matter in the universe.[6] This theory was ruled out when the 1965 discovery of the cosmic microwave background was widely interpreted as the tell-tale signature of the Big Bang.​

try "Cosmology and Controversy: The Historical Development of Two Theories of the Universe" by Helge Kragh (limited preview available at http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...JJQmQ0X&sig=eXvFvQMmwTtTXzToTK9jKS8VflU&hl=en) :wink:
 


thanks tim thank you very much. you are a genius. you probably helped to earn some marks for us in our next astronomy quiz.:!) hehe thank you very much.
