"All of us, are truly and literally a little bit of
stardust."
- William Fowler
(1911-1995)
+-------------------------------------------------------+
William Fowler
US astrophysicist. In 1983 he and Subrahmanyan Chandrasckhar
were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for their work on
the life cycle of stars and the origin of chemical elements.
Fowler concentrated on research into the abundance of
helium in the universe. Taking into account the light
elements, and considering the build-up of heavier elements,
Fowler along with Hoyle and Wagoner was able to
calculate the helium abundance in the universe to 1%.
