Sir Fred Hoyle FRS (24 June 1915 – 20 August 2001) [1] ... In 1982, Hoyle presented Evolution from Space for the Royal Institution's Omni Lecture. After considering ...
Diseases from Space is a book published in 1979 that was authored by astronomers Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, where they propose that many of the most common diseases which afflict humanity, such as influenza, the common cold and whooping cough, have their origins in extraterrestrial sources.
The junkyard tornado argument has been taken out of its original context by theists to argue for intelligent design, and has since become a mainstay in the rejection of evolution by religious groups, even though Fred Hoyle declared himself an atheist, [1] and even though the junkyard tornado argument is considered a fallacy in its original ...
Furthermore, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe concluded that the evolution of life requires a large increase in genetic information and diversity, which might have resulted from the influx of viral material from space via comets. [20] Hoyle reported (in a lecture at Oxford on January 16, 1978) a pattern of coincidence between the arrival of major ...

The theory was initially proposed by Fred Hoyle in 1946, [1] who later refined it in 1954. [2] Further advances were made, especially to nucleosynthesis by neutron capture of the elements heavier than iron , by Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge , William Alfred Fowler and Fred Hoyle in their famous 1957 B 2 FH paper , [ 3 ] which became one of the ...

Fred Hoyle's original work on nucleosynthesis of heavier elements in stars, occurred just after World War II. [4] His work explained the production of all heavier elements, starting from hydrogen. Hoyle proposed that hydrogen is continuously created in the universe from vacuum and energy, without need for universal beginning.
