Lost in translation: Mystery of the missing text solved.
- Authors
Livio, Mario
- Abstract
The article focuses on the discovery of the loss key paragraph during the translation of one of the papers of Georges Lemaître on the expanding Universe. It says the speculation of Canadian astronomer Sidney van den Bergh on why the paragraph was deleted so that it will not undermine the priority claim of Edwin Powell Hubble. It adds that Lemaître translated the paper and deleted the paragraphs as discovered in his response to the letter of astronomer William Marshall Smart.
