}IN checking the results presented by Gamow in his recent article on “The Evolution of the Universe” [Nature of October 30, p. 680], we found that his expression for matter-density suffers from the following errors: (1) an error of not tailing into account the magnetic moments in Eq. (7) for the capture cross-section, (2) an error in estimating the value of α by integrating the equations for deuteron formation (the use of an electronic analogue computer leads to α = 1), and (3) an arithmetical…

The universe is filled with thermal radiation having a current temperature of 2.75 K, and this radiation furnishes strong evidence that the Big Bang cosmology best describes the authors' expanding universe from an incredibly hot, compacted early stage until now.

It is concluded first of all that the relative abundances of various atomic species must represent the most ancient archæological document pertaining to the history of the universe, and that it must have been established during the earliest stages of expansion.
