Dr Tom Gold

From TinWiki.org

Thomas Gold (May 22, 1920 – June 22, 2004) was an Austrian born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who in the 1950s proposed the now mostly abandoned 'steady state' hypothesis of the universe. Gold's work crossed academic and scientific boundaries, into biophysics, astrophysics, space engineering, and geophysics.

He has contributed to numerous works, including "Society for Scientific Exploration"

He is also reknowned for introducing the idea that lifeforms could be silicon-based and carbon-based as many people believe. He thinks it is naive to just be searching for just one type of lifeform, pointing to silicon-based bacteria living miles below the Earth's crust as proof.
