| NPR : Back to the Beginning with Singh's 'Big Bang' (1022 words) |
 | Alpher estimated that there should be roughly one helium nucleus for every ten hydrogen nuclei at the end of the Big Bang nucleosynthesis phase, which is exactly what astronomers observed in the modern universe. |
| Alpher had not yet seriously attempted to model the formation of other elements, but even predicting the formation of hydrogen and helium in the observed proportions was in itself a highly significant achievement. |
| Alpher had done more than his fair share of the work, and now it seemed that he was going to receive only a tiny fraction of the credit. |
