Georges Lemaitre

Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître  (; 17 Julai 1894 – 20 Juni 1966) alikuwa padri, mwanaastronomia na profesa wa fizikia katika Chuo Kikuu Katoliki cha Leuven nchini Ubelgiji. 

Alikuwa mtaalamu wa kwanza aliyependekeza kwamba ulimwengu unapanuka na chanzo chake kilikuwa katika nafasi ndogo sana iliyopanuka ikiendelea kupanuka hadi leo. Aliita hali ya mwanzo  "atomu asilia" (ing. primeval atom) ambamo nishati na masi yote ya ulimwengu zilikuwepo tayari. 

Hivyo aliweka msingi wa nadharia ya mlipuko mkuu. Aligundua pia kanuni zilizotangazwa miaka miwili baadaye na Edwin Hubble na kujulikana kama "Kanuni za Hubble" (Hubble's law na Hubble constant)Sidney van den Bergh arxiv.org 6 Jun 2011  [physics.hist-ph]David L.
