Extractions: Dutch astronomer noted for his work on cosmology and relativity. Encyclopedia Sitter, Willem de vÄl Ém dÉ sÄt Ér ) , 1872â1934, Dutch astronomer and mathematician. He was professor from 1908 at the Univ. of Leiden and in 1919 became director of its observatory. His early work on the motions of Jupiter and its satellites contributed to the downfall of the pre-Einstein celestial mechanics. Using Einstein's formulation of relativity, he theorized that space cannot be in a stable equilibrium, and he concluded that the universe is expanding. He suggested a dynamic universe in which there is motion but no matter, in contrast to Einstein's static universe containing matter but no motion. In the combined Einsteinâde Sitter model, the universe is expanding at a decreasing rate that approaches zero. De Sitter's works in English include Kosmos (1932) and The Astronomical Aspect of the Theory of Relativity WordNet Note: click on a word meaning below to see its connections and related words.

Extractions: Dutch astronomer who developed a cosmological model in 1917 based on the assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy, the two assumptions of Einstein's model. His model assumed an expanding universe (in agreement with the Hubble law ), unlike Einstein's static model, and assumed that the matter density was zero. This model is now called the Einstein-de Sitter cosmological model Einstein Hubble

Extractions: In 1911 de Sitter outlined how the motion of the constituent bodies of our Solar System might be expected to deviate from predictions based on Newtonian dynamics if Albert Einstein 's special relativity theory were valid. After the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity 1915, de Sitter expanded his ideas and introduced the 'de Sitter universe' (as distinct from the 'Einstein universe'). His model later formed an element in the theoretical basis for the steady-state hypothesis regarding the creation of the universe. He presented further models of a nonstatic universe: he described both an expanding universe and an oscillating one.

Extractions: Sitter, Willem de (1872-1934) De Nederlandse wiskundige, astronoom, kosmoloog en natuurkundige Willem de Sitter werd in mei 1872 in Sneek geboren. Hij was de zoon van rechter Lamoraal Ulbo de Sitter en Catharina Bestling. De Sitter raakte tijdens zijn studie wiskunde en natuurkunde aan de Universiteit in Groningen geïnteresseerd in kosmologie. Willem de Sitter promoveerde in 1901 bij Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn. De titel van zijn dissertatie was "Discussion of heliometer observations of Jupiter's satellites". In 1908 werd hij hoogleraar Astronomie aan de universiteit in Leiden. In 1918 werd hij directeur van de Leidse Sterrenwacht. In 1918 was Willem de Sitter betrokken bij een poging om de Nederlandse astronoom Anton Pannekoek aan te stellen voor de Leidse Sterrewacht, maar deze voordracht stuitte op verzet van minister Ruijs de Beerenbrouck, vanwege de linkse sympathieën van Anton Pannekoek. Vanuit zijn wiskundige achtergrond maakt Willem de Sitter met statistische technieken verschillende modellen om het ontstaan van de kosmos te beschrijven. Toen hij op de hoogte werd gebracht van de relativiteitstheorie, zag Willem de Sitter direct het belang hiervan in en werd hij een belangrijk uitdrager van de theorieën van Albert Einstein.
