Lemhjatre or Lemitre was the first to appreciate the poss-
ibility of a singularity as t -> o and to attempt to
assign physical significance to this. He postulated that
the Universe began as a single "primeval atom" - which he
supposed to undergo disintegration by cosmic radioactivity.
Lemhjatre wrote in his 1946 essay, The Primeval Atom,
"if matter existed as a single atomic nucleus, it makes no
sense to speak of space and time in connection with this
atom. Space and time are statistical notions which apply to
an assembly of a great number of individual elements. They
were meaningless notions at the instant of first disinte-
gration of the primeval atom."
Lemhjatre was the first to attempt to contend with the
notion of a singularity of space-time. As t -> o, the
beginning, the primeval atom, and the meaninglessness
of time and space were one.
