Philip James Edwin Peebles
1995 Bruce Medalist
Date of Birth:
Jim Peebles was born in Winnipeg and graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1958. He then went to Princeton University as a graduate student in physics, and he has been there ever since, currently as Albert Einstein Professor of Science Emeritus. With Robert Dicke and others he predicted the existence of the cosmic background radiation (previously predicted by Ralph Alpher and Robert Herman) and planned to seek it just before it was found by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson. He has investigated characteristics of this radiation and how it may be used to constrain models of the universe. He has led statistical studies of clustering and superclustering of galaxies. He has calculated the universal abundances of helium and other light elements, demonstrating agreement between big bang theory and observation. He has provided evidence of the existence of large quantities of dark matter in the haloes of galaxies, and he continues to work on the origin of galaxies. Peebles was one of the first to resurrect Einstein’s cosmological constant, suggesting in the 1980s that it was needed. His books on physical cosmology have had a significant impact in convincing physicists that the time has come to study cosmology as a respectable branch of physics. Since his formal retirement in 2000, he has continued to do research in cosmology, concentrating on what he callse underappreciated issues—isolated galaxies, the structure of disk galaxies, and the motions of nearby galaxies. He has also written extensively on the history of cosmology in the 20th century and beyond.
