| | Hoyle himself denied writing anything objectionable, but conceded: "We may have included a few mild sarcasms." The most puzzling aspect of these disputes was that Hoyle made many genuine and significant contributions to physics and astronomy. | | | Ah, speaking of wigged-out pronouncements on scientific topics he wasn't too familiar with: Hoyle wrote the infamously wrongheaded "tornado in a junkyard spontaneously building a 747" analogy to the origin of life. | | | The plot closely mirrored Hoyle's contempt for politicians and his ideas about a cosmic super-intelligence. |

| | Fred Hoyle and the Mythical Big Bang - Jean Claude Pecker |
| | He was a writer, he was a composer, he was, in a way, a philosopher (although I doubt whether he would have himself accepted this qualification). | | | But here I must relocate his personal points of view at their place and time, and remind the reader of the bitter dispute which has existed in the scientific and philosophical circles for about 2500 years. | | | At that time, and we are back to Fred Hoyle, Fred considered this theory as a fantastic phantasm, probably for similar philosophical reasons to those which led Einstein to propose his own steady-state Universe in 1917. |
