- Sir Fred Hoyle was one of the outstanding astrophysicists of all time. He was the pioneer scientist to initiate the concept of Stellar Nucleosynthesis. He was known for many controversial theories such as Steady-State theory, Quasi Steady-State theory, Panspermia, Molecular Cloud, etc. Later, many of his theories were accepted by a major part of the scientific community among which Panspermia and Molecular Cloud are the most popular ones.
Science Media Centre, IISER Pune has produced a documentary based on Sir Fred Hoyle's life and work as a tribute to his enormous contribution to cosmology.

"Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." -- Albert Einstein.
*"Galaxies, Nuclei and Quasars"* by Fred Hoyle (c) 1965, Pub. 1966 (no ISBN code) - Based on lectures given in 1964 to university audiences.
I picked it up as soon as it was published. The greatest book I read before going off to university. I still read it every few years.
Within you discover a brilliant mind explaining cosmology from particles to the observable universe with a clarity few can match.
You can still purchase used copies, hard cover, on the web for as little as $4.00.
The Chapters:
1 - Galaxies
2 - Radio Sources
3 - X Rays, T Rays and Cosmic Rays
4 - The Steady State Cosmology
5 - A Radical Departure from The Steady State Cosmology
6 - An Outline of the History of Matter
Great to see this lovely tribute to one of my favorite scientists. We could do with a few more mavericks like Fred these days.
I can't comprehend the very obsession of so called indian scientist towards Nobel prize. Prize should naturally fall into your lap if you have done extraordinary work and if doesn't do not worry. I have met some outstanding researchers in my postdoctoral tenure in Harvard and found them very simply curious and humble including Nobel laureates. They still get in line for coffee ☕️ or food thing which I can't imagine in India. Narlikar is an exception to trivial indian scientist. This means I don't want to be mean but pragmatic and take indian science to new heights without doing personal glorification and without worrying about prizes.
ANyone who has read Freddie Hoyle, cannot ignore a 'Black Cloud' hovering over their work!!!
My current read...should have been made into a movie ahead of other “ultimate Earth calamity” films that simply involve a rogue asteroid.
@@michaelschramm1064 I read the book when it was first in print. It plays like a movie in my mind, so much so I was surprised to find, after an exhaustive search, it never made it to film.
OOOOOh!! WOW !! WOW !!! MANY THANKS ! From, U.K. (2024).
Excellent video. Sir Fred Hoyle made many statements and contributions, but they were before their time. This is very much true in the field of science. This kind of situation came before many scientists such as Einstein as well, but finally he got 1921 Noble Prize. Recognition is important, but those scientists who nominates for Noble Prize, they really never thinks about any prize. They are busy doing their selfless work for the community. Hats off to those scientist and their contribution.
I can pretty much guarantee you that most if not all think about getting a Nobel Prize. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Wood work by iiser pune.
Fred Hoyle once stated that he would rather be interesting and wrong than boring and right--not exactly the vanguard of good science. As for the Nobel Prize, it can be subjective. Obama got one less than a year after being elected, although no one (including him) really knows why.
Lina Morgana No...he’s just positing a valid argument.
The best kind of actual Sciencing Re-search.
thanks for the info!
When a great discovery is found by a pioneer and the Noble prize fails to recognise such a pioneer, Fred Hoyle does. Look up Jocelyn Bell case.
I remember reading a couple of science fiction books written by Hoyle too
Came here from Jojo’s bizarre adventure
Same lol
The fine tuned universe seems to dispute the idea of a universe teeming with intelligent life.
it is highly probable that Hoyle and his theory for the 20 gig yr old star was somehow right given it may well have been what went bang to give birth to our own universe and unifies the big bang and steady state theory with elegance
Eccellente 💟🌈🙏🙋
Electromagnetic Toroidal field.
Jv narlikar and Stephen hawking are students of fred Hoyle.
Prof Hawking wanted to study under Sir Hoyle, but Hoyle chose Prof Narlikar along with 5 others over Hawking. Hawking had to study under Dennis Sciama
He created a research institute because he got sick of gate keepers kicking down young people with new ideas and his institute got absorbed by the place doing the gate keeping who still gate keeps today? That sucks.
A rather sad disclaimer at the end.
Fred Hoyle deserved better. Even Einstein got things wrong sometimes. We all do. Fred contributed so much. I'm no Cosmologist or physicist but see there is merit in his 'Steady State'. He may be fundamentally proven correct one day.
He was proven wrong. He got some things wrong and somethings right but also talked bollocks and should have known better.
Suppose Dr. Hoyle was instead the bus driver...?
Great point!
Up
My guess he was closer to being a panentheist Than a theist
They don’t like to leave comments up that state he supported the theory that the universe was eternal. Just another smart Atheist but compared to his Creator - a speck of dust in the ocean .
Hoyle was right, as JWST prooves it now: The Big bang Theory was such a weak childish idea...
