Day Without Yesterday quote


When Lemaître finished his paper, he made the curious decision to submit it to a relatively obscure Belgian journal, the Annales de Societé Scientifique de Bruxelles, rather than one of the more widely read journals, such as Zeitschrift für Phyzik. (…) the venue Lemaître chose for his groundbreaking paper would almost guarantee that no one would take notice of it.
