AI Thread 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 emerged in 1928 and was significant in early British cosmology, alongside contributions from Arthur Eddington. However, it was largely dismissed following the discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1965, which supported the Big Bang theory instead. The discussion highlights the historical context and evolution of cosmological theories. Understanding Jean's creation provides insight into the development of modern astrophysics.

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.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
