George Gamow
George Gamow (sometimes Gammoff; born Georgiy Antonovich Gamov; ; 4 March 1904 – 19 August 1968) was a Soviet and American polymath, theoretical physicist and cosmologist. He was an early advocate and developer of Georges Lemaître's Big Bang theory. Gamow discovered a theoretical explanation of alpha decay by quantum tunneling, invented the liquid drop model and the first mathematical model of the atomic nucleus, worked on radioactive decay, star formation, stellar nucleosynthesis, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (which he collectively called nucleocosmogenesis), and molecular genetics.In his middle and late career, Gamow directed much of his attention to teaching and wrote popular books on science, including ''One Two Three... Infinity'' and the ''Mr Tompkins'' series of books (1939–1967). Some of his books remain in print more than a half-century after their original publication. Provided by Wikipedia
