What is the shape of hyperspace? I go with the Humphrey's model of a hypersphere which has a center of mass.

Hoyle advocated Steady-State, didn't he? Imbecile.

Mass coming out of nowhere to satisfy an artificial constant, yeah it's stupidity in action.

Hmm. Ironically enough, he was the first to coin the term 'Big Bang', although he did so sarkily.

Most cosmetology models are pretty

'Pretty hot?' We're not talking about astrophysics students in bikinis, we're talking the shape and state of the universe. :P

It's curious that Lemaître, the one who came up with the big bang, was also a catholic priest.

I remember I saw a documentary a while ago about his theory of comets being somehow responsable for life on earth.

That in itself was a good theory. I'm not disputing that in some areas he was a brilliant scientist. He was just an idiot in supporting Steady-State.

Why exactly does that make him an "idiot" lol I'm just curious.

I know his theory is obsolete now and is not well accepted by most scientists today, but calling him imbecile for that, wouldn't that be too harsh? lol
