re...Almost all solutions obtained in GR, and widely<br />recognized today as being important for astrophysics,<br />did not have any influence on observers or experimentalists at the time of their discovery.<br />Examples: Friedman cosmological solutions, <br />Oppenheimer-Volkov-Snyder results on gravitational <br />collapse, Kerr metric, etc. We rightly name <br />these theoretical discoveries after those who made<br />them and hold them in high regard. This is <br />justice, but also it teaches us<br />to be attentive to new theoretical concepts<br />and ideas, even if they are somewhat <br />decoupled from<br />the current mainstream. <br />Peebles' way of doing science is great, but it is<br />not the only way to make an important contribution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10448119.post-69305901637727650052009-11-01T18:05:44.601-05:002009-11-01T18:05:44.601-05:00See
