SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating the English version of G. Lemaitre's papers published in Ann. Soc. Scient. Bruxelles A47, 49(1927) and A53, 51(1927). Participants note that only French versions are readily available online, and the original English translations are incomplete, particularly regarding critical content related to the Hubble constant. The conversation highlights the historical context of Lemaitre's work and the challenges faced due to language barriers in scientific literature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of G. Lemaitre's contributions to cosmology
  • Familiarity with the significance of the Hubble constant in astronomy
  • Knowledge of academic journal publication practices
  • Basic research skills for locating historical scientific papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research G. Lemaitre's original papers in Ann. Soc. Scient. Bruxelles
  • Investigate the historical context of the Hubble constant and its attribution
  • Explore translation resources for scientific papers
  • Learn about the impact of language on scientific communication
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, historians of science, researchers interested in the evolution of cosmological theories, and anyone studying the impact of language on scientific literature.

Hi guys,

Where can I find english version of G. Lemaitre's paper Ann. Soc. Scient. bruxelles A47, 49(1927), and Ann. Soc. Scient. bruxelles A53, 51(1927) . I can find only french version in google, and I don't know french. Our library does not have this journal.

Thanks.

Thanks bcrowell, I found it on google.

By the way, I found that this is not the true translation of the original paper. Some paragraphs related with expansion constant (Hubble constant) are missing. And Hubble got the credit for this, which was originally shown by G. Lemaitre [Nature 479, 171–173 (10 November 2011) doi:10.1038/479171a]. Although, G. Lemaitre had removed those paragraphs because of his poor English. This thing happens in science all the time, so bad.
 
would you mind sharing where you found it? I cannot find the text either. Tnx.
