Richard Tolman

Richard Tolman was an American physicist and mathematician known for his work in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He contributed to understanding how energy, matter, and radiation interact in systems, and played a key role in developing Einstein’s theory of relativity. Tolman also studied the universe's large-scale structure and evolution, helping shape modern cosmology. His research provided foundational insights into how the universe behaves under different conditions, making him an influential figure in both theoretical physics and cosmology.
