Georges Lemaître

Ekspanija univerzuma, po Lemaître-u

Georges Edouard Lemaître (Charleroi, Belgija, 17. juli 1894. - Löwen, Belgija, 20. juna 1966.), belgijski svećenik isusovac, matematičar i astronom.

Iznio je ideju prema kojoj je svemir nastao iz izuzetno zbijenog i toplog stanja. Postepenim širenjem svemira materija se hladila i diferencirala, stvarajući kompleksnu strukturu koju danas opažamo. Ta se ideja vremenom razvila u popularnu Teoriju Velikog praska.
