Was Fred Hoyle the one responsible for Creating the Big Bang of Space?

Answer 1

Fred Hoyle and the Indian astrophysicist, Jayant Narlikar were proponents of the Steady State theory of how the cosmos developed.

FRED HOYLE

Sir Frederick Hoyle (born on June 24, 1915 in Gilstead, Yorkshire, England – August 20, 2001 in Bournemouth, England) was a British astronomer, notable for a number of his theories that run counter to current astronomical opinion, and a writer of science fiction.

He spent most of his working life at the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge, and was director of the institute for a number of years.

JAYANT NARLIKAR

Professor Jayant Vishnu Narlikar (born July 19,1938) is an eminent Indian astrophysicist. Narlikar is considered a leading expert and defender of the steady state cosmology.

His work on conformal gravity theory with Sir Fred Hoyle, called Hoyle-Narlikar theory, demonstrated a synthesis can be achieved between Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and Mach's principle.

India’s second highest civilian honour, Padma Vibhushan, was awarded to him for his work. Prof. Narlikar is the founder director of the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) at Pune, India.

REJECTION OF THE BIG BANG

Rejection of the big bang
While having no argument with the Lemaître theory, (later confirmed by Edwin Hubble's observations) that the universe was expanding, Hoyle disagreed on its interpretation.

An atheist, he found the idea that the universe had a beginning to be philosophically troubling, as many argue that a beginning implies a cause, and thus a creator.

Instead, Hoyle, along with Thomas Gold and Hermann Bondi (with whom he had worked on radar in World War II), argued for the universe being in a "steady state".

The theory tried to explain how the universe could be eternal and essentially unchanging while still having the galaxies we observe moving away from each other.

The theory hinged on the creation of matter between galaxies over time, so that even though galaxies get further apart, new ones that develop between them fill the space they leave.

The resulting universe is in a "steady state" in the same manner that a flowing river is - the individual water molecules are moving away but the overall river remains the same.

The theory was the only serious alternative to the Big Bang which agreed with key observations of the day, namely Hubble's red shift observations, and Hoyle was a strong critic of the Big Bang.

Ironically, he is the one responsible for coining the term "Big Bang" in a BBC radio program, The Nature of Things while criticizing the theory; the text was published in 1950;

So he did not create the theory for the Big Bang, he merely coined the name for it.

Answer 2

No, in fact, Fred Hoyle propagated the steady state theory of universe. The big bang theory was developed based on the work of many including Hubble, Friedman, Lemaitre and George Gamow. But the word Big Bang was indeed first used by Fred Hoyle in a radiobroadcast in a sarcastic sense but stuck.

The background microwave radiation has more or less settled the matter in favor of big bang model of cosmology, as opposed to the steady state universe.

Answer 3

Fred Hoyle was a proponent of the steady state theory of the universe. This was substantially disproved with the discovery of cosmic background radiation.

Georges Lemaitre should probably be credited with originating the big bang theory. Ironically he was a catholic priest as well as astronomer, so it is perhaps fitting that he created the theory that effectively ruled out a role for a god in the creation of the universe.

Answer 4

No

He was Steady State

Big Bang was a Catholic Priest and Hoyle was making a joke when he named it Big Bang (the Priest called it the more conservative, Primordial Atom theory).

Hoyle DID name it, but he didn't buy into it! He was putting it down when he called it Big Bang.

Answer 5

Although Fred was a steady-stater, he is the one who facetiously *coined the phrase* "Big bang," as an attempt to illustrate what a ridiculous theory it was. Unfortunately the moniker stuck, and has been confusing people for decades.

Answer 6

No. He espoused the theory of continuous creation, also known as the steady state hypothesis. He did however invent the term "Big Bang" in an attempt to ridicule the opposing theory. Ironically, his joking name for that theory is the one that stuck.

Answer 7

confident. Any creation comprises 2 factors an sensible reason (nimitta karaNa) and a textile reason (upadana karaNa). For me to create a flower backyard, whether I certainly have the understanding, i could have some textile e.g. the seed. In my case, i ought to pass out and deliver jointly or purchase some seed. further the sensible reason, God, to create this finished universe needs some textile (seed). in spite of the incontrovertible fact that he does no longer have the luxurious to pass out and get the textile for his creation as that ought to in common terms be a partial creation. He subsequently has to create the textile too, out of himself. it incredibly is a unusual creation wherein the two reasons – the textile reason and the sensible reason must be one and the comparable. The muNDaka upaniShad provides an analogy: The spider projects the textile for the creation of its cyber web; it incredibly is the textile reason for the creation, and the intelligence to create the cyber web rests with the spider too. subsequently the textile reason and the sensible reason for the spider’s cyber web are one and the comparable. interior the heavenly living house of the great God (Brahma), there's a astonishing cyber web which has been hung by utilising some crafty artificer in considered one of those vogue that it stretches out infinitely in all instructions. in accordance with the extravagant tastes of beings, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each and each "eye" of the cyber web, and since the cyber web itself is limitless in length, the jewels are limitless in form. There carry the jewels, glittering like stars of the 1st fee, a astonishing sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily elect a sort of jewels for inspection and look heavily at it, we can come across that throughout its polished floor there are contemplated all the different jewels interior the cyber web, limitless in form. no longer in common terms that, yet each and all the jewels contemplated in this one jewel is likewise reflecting all the different jewels, so as that there is an limitless reflecting technique happening. The innumerable worlds interior the cosmos are in simple terms like the "eyes" of the cyber web. each worldwide is distinctive, its form limitless.

Answer 8

Yes, he did.

The universe got it's start only about 70 years ago when Fred created it.

Answer 9

Are you getting your H's mixed up and maybe thinking of Edwin Hubble or Milt Humason?
