About Fred Hoyle
Fred Hoyle otherwise known as Sir Fred Hoyle was a bestselling science fiction novelist, researcher, and theoretical physicist. He finally won a scholarship to Cambridge and enrolled at the age of eighteen to study Chemistry. However, he first had to strengthen his mathematics standards so that he could pursue a career in chemistry. But this meant he could avoid first-year courses in botany and geology. Surprisingly, he never went back to physics or chemistry, as he found inspiration in James Clark Maxwell and Isaac Newton and studied mathematics, which he applied to theoretical physics. In 1948, following three-way discussions, Hoyle published a paper while Gold and Bondi published another. While they took different approaches, they both came up with a steady-state theory of the universe.
