These proceedings of the conference held in June 2004 in Odessa, Ukraine pay tribute to the great scientist who developed the alpha and beta decay theory and the Big Bang theory. In over 50 papers contributors memorialize Gamov and his theories and address the phenomenology of brane-world cosmological models, black holes, gravitational wave experiments, supernova explosions, axisymmetric stationary flows in compact objects, the higher co-dimension brane-world, ghost stellar fields as a dark energy, the rotating universe, quantum scattering on a cosmic string, line-driven winds near compact objects, weak magnetism effects, the trans-sonic propeller stage, high-energy neutrinos from a collapsing supermassive star, star complexes and starburst clumps in spiral galaxies, a model of nonthermal radiation of a shell-type supernova remnant, space mission Rosetta, and the detection and properties of a near-earth flux of dark electric matter objects.
