名称中的含义:“大爆炸”一词的历史和含义

What's in a Name: History and Meanings of the Term "Big Bang"

Helge Kragh

摘要:

1949年弗雷德·霍伊尔提出的“大爆炸”这个名字是有史以来最成功的科学新词之一。这个名字是如何起源的?在20世纪60年代末热大爆炸共识模型之前的时期,物理学家和天文学家是如何接受这个名字的?它是如何反映大爆炸的含义的,一个比这个名字早了近20年的概念?本文详细介绍了从20世纪20年代到70年代与有限年龄宇宙学模型相关的名称和概念。事实证明,霍伊尔著名的名字有一个更丰富和更令人惊讶的历史比通常认为,也是文学现代宇宙学及其历史包括许多常见的错误和错误。通过遵循“大爆炸”的故事,为现代宇宙学的历史理解增加了一个新的维度。

英文摘要:

The name "big bang" introduced by Fred Hoyle in 1949 is one of the most successful scientific neologisms ever. How did the name originate and how was it received by physicists and astronomers in the period leading up to the hot big bang consensus model in the late 1960s? How did it reflect the meanings of the big bang, a concept that predates the name by nearly two decades? The paper gives a detailed account of names and concepts associated with finite-age cosmological models from the 1920s to the 1970s. It turns out that Hoyle's celebrated name has a richer and more surprising history than commonly assumed and also that the literature on modern cosmology and its history includes many common mistakes and errors. By following the story of "big bang" a new dimension is added to the historical understanding of the emergence of modern cosmology.
