In 1948 Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others proposed the Steady State theory as an alternative to the Big Bang theory.

Good historical perspective on 8 decades of scientific inquiry into the origin of the universe.
Thanks

In the first 30 seconds of the program this guy describes some ridiculous religious explanations of the origins of the universe. He then goes on to describe the big bang theory as "equally remarkable", like a fucking idiot. He then goes on to describe how "something came from nothing", which is also wrong.

Science should never be dumbed down for the public. The public should have to smarten up in order to understand science.

Thanks for the post tho, even if the host is a knob.
