Looks like you’re the one throwing the scientists down the memory hole.
In 1930 Eddington wrote an article about his work in the Monthly Notes of the Royal Astronomical Society.
In 1933 his article was published in the Annals of the Scientific Society of Belgium.
In 1934 Lemaitre won the Francqui Prize.
In 1941 he was elected to the Royal Academy of Sciences & Arts of Belgium.
In 1953 he won the very 1st Eddington Medal awarded by the Royal Astronomical Society.
In 1984 a book was published about his work.
In 2000 another book was written about his work.
In 2011 Nature ran an article on him and his work.
He’s mentioned in nearly every historical book and article about the early universe, including website posts.
Even PBS has him on their website (horrors).
. . . now what scientists are you referring to? I threw nobody down the memory hole, least of all Arthur Eddington (a Quaker), who was Lemaître’s colleague. Just give my post a re-read . . .
