G,day all

Fred Hoyle was certainly a giant of science. I think what he will be rememberd for most, however are the words 'Big Bang'

Hoyles steady state theory of the universe was still in vogue when the book 'The Universe' was published in 1964. I remember borrowing this book from the adult section of the library when I was a kid (in the late 70's) and the pictures in it blew me away.
