http://physicsweb.org/article/news/8/6/13 - Gold is best known for developing, along with Hermann Bondi and the late Fred Hoyle, the [Steady State] theory of the universe. It assumes that we live in a world that has no beginning or end, in which matter is constantly being created. Although the theory is widely viewed to be incorrect - with the [BigBang] theory now holding sway - many of his other unconventional ideas have stood the test of time.
was a professor at Cornell University - I introduced myself to him and had him speak at dinner once at my fraternity. I have no recollection of what he talked about.
