Hoyle and Stephen

...new matter, which is being created to replace old matter,this process has always existed and will continue forever.Nothing changes,nothing has ever changed.It's my theory.And I've given it a name.I've called it "steady state”. Good night. Good night Professor Hoyle. That's Hoyle? That's Hoyle.The new theory we have formulated differsin its global implications from the usual theory in that,whereas in the usual theory the negative sign at the constant of proportionality which appears in the field equations, is chosen arbitrarily, in the new theory, there's no such ambiguity. The sign must be minus, and further the magnitude of g follows on from a determination of the mean density of matter, thereby enabling the cosmologist to know how hard he'll hit the ground if he falls off a cliff.
Any questions? You want to say something young man? Your calculation is wrong. The advanced field diverges. The advanced field does not diverge. I'm afraid it does. It's all wrong. Would you like to tell us how you know this, young man? I worked it out. You worked it out during the lecture? No, I had a privileged early glimpse at the paper. Who put you up to that? What? That stunt in there. Who put you up to it, eh? Somebody's put you up to sabotaging me. It's just wrong, that's all. I had to say it, didn't I? The physics is wrong.
