message: In 1975, Gunn and Beatrice Tinsley published in Nature a paper titled "An accelerating universe" which concluded that not only is the universe expanding, it is expanding at an accelerating rate.  This was shocking news but many in the scientific world did not immediately embrace the conclusion.  In 1998, Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt, Adam Riess made observations of distant supernovaes which confirmed Gunn and Tinsley's earlier discovery that the universe expansion was accelerating.  The scientific community immediately embraced this conclusion, possibly because of the earlier work by Gunn and Tinsley.  The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Saul Perlmutter, Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess.   It seems a shame that Sandage, Gunn and Tinsley were overlooked since they reached the same conclusions 24 years earlier. RonCram (talk) 14:37, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If I recall correctly, Nobels are never awarded posthumously, and Tinsley was long dead by 2011. I don't know about the others.109.150.76.103 (talk) 22:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Two brief points:
# Andrew Pontzen has a new book, The Universe in a Box (2023), which talks a little bit about Tinsley's research.  
# In conversation with Sean M. Carroll on his podcast, Pontzen recently said that Tinsley was the first person to simulate a galaxy on a computer in the late 1960s.  Looking into this, I think Pontzen meant on a digital computer, but he also might have implied she was the first woman to do so, I don't know. 
Having said that, I took a look at Pontzen's new book to see if I could flesh this out a bit, but I wasn't able to find anything specific to that claim. Viriditas (talk) 08:40, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: I took a look at several of the sources in the further reading section.  There is some material about her work on computer programming the simulation on the university computer, so I think that’s what Pontzen was talking about.  Still trying to figure out how to word it.
