Wilson, RW

...In the expanding universe theory, 1/ H gives an estimate of the age of the universe, which is 15 to 20 billion years. The third is about the global distribution of light that makes up the universe along with matter. The cosmic background radiation, detected as microwave radio waves by AA Penzias and RW Wilson (1936-), was confirmed by subsequent observations to be blackbody radiation at about 3 K. The number density of photons in blackbody radiation at this temperature is about 5.5 x 10 8 /m3, which indicates that on average in the present universe, the ratio of the number of photons to nucleons (protons and neutrons) is about 1 billion. ...

From [Cosmic Background Radiation]

…It is also called 3K radiation because the strength of the radio waves is equivalent to an absolute temperature of about 3K, and cosmic blackbody radiation because the spectrum of the radio waves has the properties of blackbody radiation. This type of radio wave was discovered in 1965 by American engineers AAPenzias and RW Wilson. According to the Big Bang theory, the early universe was a period of high temperature and high density, and the universe was completely opaque. …

From [Big Bang]

…However, at that time, direct evidence of the Big Bang had not yet been observed, and Gamow's theory did not receive much attention, except from a few people. However, in 1964, American physicists Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson discovered that the universe is filled with light (cosmic microwave background radiation) at a very low temperature of 3K. At the same time, theoretical physicists P.J.E. Peebles and R.H. Dicke revealed that this was a trace of the hot early universe, and it was confirmed that the theoretically predicted amount of element synthesis in the early universe was in good agreement with the observed facts, and the Big Bang theory was established. Recently, as the more fundamental structure of matter has been revealed, the state of the high-temperature, high-density era that goes back even further than the era of element synthesis has been studied in cosmology, and it is no longer a dream to solve more philosophical problems such as the origin of matter itself and the origin of the Big Bang itself as physical problems. …

…また膨張宇宙論では1/Hが宇宙の年齢の目安を与え,150億~200億年となる。 第3は物質とともに宇宙を構成している光の大局的な分布についてで,A.A.ペンジアスとウィルソンR.W.Wilson(1936‐ )によってマイクロ波電波として検出された(1965)宇宙背景放射は,その後の観測によって約3Kの黒体放射であることが確かめられた。この温度における黒体放射のフォトンの数密度は約5.5×108/m3であるので,現在の宇宙では平均するとフォトンと核子(陽子,中性子)の個数比は10億程度であることを示している。…

【宇宙背景放射】より

…電波の強度が絶対温度約3Kに相当することから3K放射,電波のスペクトルが黒体放射の性質を有することから宇宙黒体放射などとも呼ばれる。 この電波は,1965年,アメリカの技術者ペンジアスA.A.PenziasとウィルソンR.W.Wilsonによって発見された。ビッグバン宇宙論によれば,宇宙の初期には高温,高密度の時期があり,宇宙はまったく不透明であったと考えられている。…

…しかし,そのころはまだ,ビッグバンの直接の証拠は観測されておらず,少数の人々を除いて,ガモフの理論は,あまり着目されなかった。しかし,64年,アメリカの物理学者ペンジャスArno A.PenziasとウィルソンRobert W.Wilsonによって,3Kという非常に低温の光(宇宙背景放射)が宇宙を満たしていることが発見され,同時に,ピーブルスP.J.E.PeeblesやディッケR.H.Dickeらの理論物理学者によって,これが熱い初期宇宙の痕跡であることが明らかにされ,さらに,理論的に予見される宇宙初期の元素合成量が,観測事実とよく一致することが確認されてビッグバン理論は確立した。 最近,物質のより基本的な構造が明らかにされるに従って,宇宙論においても元素合成の時代よりさらにさかのぼった高温高密度の時代のようすが研究されており,物質そのものの起源やビッグバンそのものの起源といったより哲学的な問題が,物理の問題として解明されるのも夢ではなくなってきている。…
