The Nature of the Universe
Author: Fred Hoyle
Hard cover with dust jacket. Fair condition.
The Nature of the Universe by Fred Hoyle is a groundbreaking work that presents his views on cosmology, particularly his advocacy of the steady-state theory. Published in 1950, the book challenges the then-emerging Big Bang theory, proposing instead that the universe is eternal and continuously creating new matter to maintain a constant density. Hoyle explains complex astrophysical concepts in a clear and engaging manner, making the book accessible to a general audience. His work not only influenced scientific debates of the time but also introduced the term "Big Bang" (ironically, as a term of criticism). While the steady-state theory has since been largely discredited, Hoyle's contributions to astrophysics, including work on nucleosynthesis, remain highly influential.
