Secondhand paperback very good condition. Published by Penguin Books, 1969. The book presents a series of broadcast lectures by astronomer Fred Hoyle advocating for the steady-state theory of the universe over the Big Bang model. Hoyle explains continuous creation of matter, where hydrogen atoms are steadily produced throughout space, maintaining the universe's structure indefinitely. He critiques the Big Bang for lacking direct observational support and discusses cosmic phenomena like stellar evolution and solar refueling.
