The only known filmed interview with physicist and Catholic priest Georges Lemaître, who originally proposed the Big Bang theory, has been found on a video that was lost nearly 60 years ago.
The only known video interview with Belgian physicist Georges Lemaître, widely considered the"father of the Big Bang," talking about the birth of the universe has been rediscovered almost 60 years after it was lost.
The rediscovered video features Lemaître discussing his ideas with journalist Jérôme Verhaeghe during a Belgian TV interview, which was broadcast on Feb. 14, 1964. A small clip of the interview, around two minutes long, has been widely available for decades, but the full 20-minute video was considered to be lost after the film reel containing the footage disappeared shortly after the interview aired.
"To our knowledge, it is the only video interview of Georges Lemaître in existence," the researchers wrote in the paper. Lemaître explains that the Steady State model could work only if the hydrogen required to make stars appeared"like a ghost" from nowhere, which he argued would go against the principle of conservation of energy, the idea that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed from one type to another, which he described as"basically the most secure and solid thing in physics.
