1963. Hoyle, Fred (1915-2001) and Narlikar, J. V. Mach's principle and the creation of matter. In Proc. Roy. Soc., series A (mathematical and physical sciences) 273 (1963):1-11. Whole number. 144pp. 255 x 173 mm. Original printed wrappers. Fine. First Edition. A paper supporting Hoyle's "steady-state" cosmological model, which he developed in the late 1940s with Hermann Bondi and Thomas Gold. Hoyle's theory holds that the universe has no definable beginning, and that its expansion is due to the continuous creation of new matter. Hoyle opposed Hubble's theory that the universe's expansion is due to its explosive origins in a "Big Bang"-a term, ironically, that Hoyle coined in a paper criticizing Hubble's theory. Hoyle founded Cambridge's Institute of Theoretical Astronomy and served as its first director; he received the Bruce Medal in 1970. 38742.
