[PAR] [TLE] Tolman surface brightness test [SEP] The Tolman surface brightness test is one out of a half-dozen cosmological tests that was conceived in the 1930s to check the viability of and compare new cosmological models. Tolman's test compares the surface brightness of galaxies as a function of their redshift (measured as "z").  Such a comparison was first proposed in 1930 by Richard C. Tolman as a test of whether the universe is expanding or static.  Different physicists have claimed that the results support different models. [PAR] [TLE] Richard C. Tolman [SEP] Richard Chace Tolman (March 4, 1881 – September 5, 1948) was an American mathematical physicist and physical chemist who was an authority on statistical mechanics.  He also made important contributions to theoretical cosmology in the years soon after Einstein's discovery of general relativity.  He was a professor of physical chemistry and mathematical physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
