Lost Interview Found of Catholic Priest Who Was Founder of the Big Bang Theory
From EWTN
A TV station in Belgium recently discovered a lost interview with the Catholic priest considered the founder of the Big Bang Theory. The interview is from February 1964. VRT Television said the discovery was like finding a needle in a haystack. In it, Fr. Georges Lemaitre explains what the origin of the universe may have been like. Until now, only photographs of the Belgian priest had been preserved. Astronomer and Historian with the Vatican Observatory, Chris Graney, joins to share his reaction when he heard about the discovery of this interview and what the reaction was of the scientific community. Graney tells us a little about Fr. Lemaitre and how he was able to combine faith and science. Graney discusses whether there was anything in the interview that was helpful and whether he saw any new tidbits or something previously unknown.
