Steady state theory

	Thomas Gold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Gold (May 22, 1920 – June 22, 2004) was an Austrian astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
		Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who advanced the scientific understanding of cosmology in the 1950s by proposing the controversial 'steady state' hypothesis of the universe.
		Gold achieved fame for his 1992 paper "The Deep Hot Biosphere" in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which presented a controversial view of the origin of coal, oil, and gas deposits, a theory of an abiogenic petroleum origin.

		This hypothesis would explain, Gold believed, the surprisingly high concentration of helium found in petroleum since as the liquid rose to the surface it would collect helium from the many kilometers of rock through which it percolated.
		A few kilometers underground, as Gold saw it, the upwelling petroleum acts as a nutrient for deep-dwelling microorganisms that are the source of the biological molecules found in crude oil.
		Gold argued that a number of planets, moons, and even asteroids in the Solar System might have internal hydrocarbon reserves, which could provide an energy source for subterranean microbes.

	Cornell News: Thomas Gold obituary
		Gold's reputation as a Renaissance man was surpassed only by his penchant for unconventional theories -- from the origin of the universe to the source of petroleum.
		Gold was one of the 110 scientists in the United States and abroad to receive the soil for analysis, and the researchers concluded that the soil on the lunar surface is indeed powdery.
		Gold's vision of a supply of oil and gas that is essentially inexhaustible drew intense criticism from petroleum geologists.

		In 1998, however, Gold admitted that he was having doubts, although he maintained that the theory had been a path worth following as it had led to a better understanding of the origin of the elements.
		The son of an Austrian steel magnate, Thomas Gold was born on May 22 1920 in Vienna.
		Thomas Gold married first, in 1947, Merle Tuberg, with whom he had three daughters; with his second wife, Carvel Beyer, whom he married in 1972, he had another daughter.

		Professor Thomas "Tommy" Gold, who has died aged 84, was the initiator, the pragmatist and the persuader among the trio of young Cambridge scientists who turned cosmology upside down in the 1950s by proposing their controversial and comforting "steady state" hypothesis of the universe.
		Gold emerged from the cold comfort of this extended wartime seminar aware of a host of new problems in astrophysics and cosmology and much better equipped to investigate them.
		Gold suggested that we might be seeing primeval methane, trapped during the formation of the planet, but continuously rising from the deep interior of the earth.

	Thomas Gold obituary
		Thomas "Tommy" Gold, a brilliant and controversial figure in 20th century science and Cornell professor emeritus of astronomy, died June 22 at Cayuga Medical Center, after a long battle with heart disease.
		Gold developed the idea of a steady-state universe that has no beginning or end and in which matter is constantly being created, with fellow astrophysicists Fred Hoyle and Hermann Bondi while a graduate student at Cambridge.
		Gold did not receive his doctorate -- an honorary degree -- from Cambridge until 1969, 10 years after he was hired by Cornell from Harvard University, where he was professor of astronomy.

		Gold has worked in the highest reaches of Big Science - overseeing the construction and operation of the world's largest radio telescope, in Arecibo, Puerto Rico - while also excelling at the sort of research that requires nothing more than a pencil, paper, and an idea.
		Geochemists argue that the bulk of the world's hydrocarbons couldn't possibly reside in the Earth's mantle, as Gold posits; at that depth, hydrocarbons would react with the mantle, oxidizing into carbon dioxide, a process which, Gold's foes believe, is evident in the belching forth of carbon dioxide from the Earth's volcanoes.
		Gold rushed into print with the idea that these pulsars were astrophysical oddities called neutron stars, the existence of which had been predicted in the 1930s but had never been seen.

		Gold was born in Vienna and studied at Cambridge.
		In 1956 he emigrated to the USA and became professor of astronomy at Harvard 1958 and at Cornell University from 1959.
		The steady-state theory assumes an expanding universe in which the density of matter remains constant because, as galaxies recede from one another, new matter is continually created (at an undetectably slow rate).

	Re: Thomas Gold on alien life deep under the surface
		Gold objected to the prevailing theories of the time, which proved wrong in the end.
		The only Gold theory that seems to match the picture of the brilliant scientist contending against other real scientists and being proved right in the end, at long last, seems to be his theory of a polar flip.

		Although popular accounts often attribute Gold with falsely predicting that Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would find the lunar surface coated in a thick layer of dust, which could cause them to sink over their heads, he denies ever making such a claim, arguing his views were misrepresented in the press.
		Gold's theory of the deep hot biosphere holds important ramifications for the possibility of life on other planets, including seemingly inhospitable planets within our own solar system.
		Gold is credited with 280 publications in various fields of science, including cosmology, mechanism of mammalian hearing, nature of pulsars as rotating neutron stars, aspects of solar system research, origin of planetary hydrocarbons.

	Thomas Gold and plagiarism
		Plotnikova to Thomas Gold, rejecting his attempt to insinuate a paper into the Proceedings of a Russian scientific conference, for reasons of lack of originality and failure to give proper citations of credit. A few words about each writer and letter follow.
		Gold had then the incredible temerity to try to insinuate into the Proceedings of that conference a paper purportedly dealing with the subject of self-replenishing petroleum reservoirs, - and (again, and as usual) without giving credit to a single Russian petroleum scientist. The keynote speaker for this conference was Professor Rh.
		Muslimov, an expert in that very subject, and one from whom Gold had purloined “his[sic]” ideas. As Dr. Plotnikova’s letter makes plain, that of replenishing petroleum reservoirs has been a active subject of study for years in Russia.

		"It's annoying." Indeed, despite the intense opposition they often encountered, many of Gold's most outrageous -- and passionately held -- ideas had a curious habit of turning out to be right.
