[edit] Claim

The following claim:

"This dynamical cosmological model of general relativity would come to form the standard for the Big Bang and steady state theories. Friedman's work supports both theories equally, so it was not until the detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation that the steady state theory was abandoned in favor of the current favorite Big Bang paradigm."

seems to be false. I'll remove it if no one wants to defend it. Gene Ward Smith 22:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates of birth and death inaccurate??

The date of his birth is unclear, but if 1888 as the article states and the date of his death was 1996, he did not die at age 84 unless he discovered the secret of using time dialation in his personal life.

I have no knowledge of the accurate dates, but I can add and subtract without paper and a pencil.

So some attention to this arithmetical detail should be devoted.

thanks, a lover of wiki and learning physics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.6.103 (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
