Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) was a British astronomer noted for his rejection of naturalistic theories of how the universe came into being. Nobel Prize winner Fowler wrote: "Fred Hoyle was the second great influence in my life. The grand concept of nucleosynthesis in stars was first definitely established by Hoyle in 1946." [1] During a radio lecture, he coined the term "big bang" to ridicule the theory (that he disbelieved) that the universe began from an explosion.
- He was best known for his seminal contributions to the theory of the structure of stars and on the origin of the chemical elements in stars. He was a joint proponent of the Steady-State model of the universe.
In an obvious punishment of Fred Hoyle, the Nobel Prize was awarded to underlings for Fred Hoyle's work. This prize was awarded at a time when Fred Hoyle was uncovering how the Archaeopteryx maintained by the British Museum of History is a fraud. [2]
