The scientific life of Fred Hoyle (1915 2001) was truly
unparalleled. During his career he wrote groundbreaking scientific
papers and caused bitter disputes in the scientific community with
his revolutionary theories. Hoyle is best known for showing that we
are all, literally, made of stardust in his paper explaining how
carbon, and then all the heavier elements, were created by nuclear
reactions inside stars. However, he constantly courted controversy
and two years later he followed this with his 'steady state' theory
of the universe. This challenged another model of the universe,
which Hoyle called the 'big bang' theory. Fred Hoyle was also
famous amongst the general public. He popularised his research
through radio and television broadcasts and wrote best-selling
novels. Written from personal accounts and interviews with Hoyle's
contemporaries, this book gives valuable personal insights into
Fred Hoyle and his unforgettable life.
