Russian-American theoretical physicist and cosmologist (1904–1968)
George Gamow was a Russian-American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who lived from 1904 to 1968 and made significant contributions to our understanding of physics and the origins of the universe. His work matters because he helped develop foundational theories about atomic physics, nuclear decay, and the Big Bang model of cosmology that continue to shape modern science.
