György Paál
György Paál (Budapest, 1934 – Budapest, 1992)[1] was a Hungarian astronomer and cosmologist.
Work
[edit]In the late 1950s Paál studied the quasar and galaxy cluster distributions. In 1970 from redshift quantization he came up with the idea that the Universe might have nontrivial topological structure.[2] [3] These are the oldest papers that associate real observations with the possibility that our universe could have nontrivial topology.[4]
