He starts with something called the Cosmic Egg and goes on to say that this egg exploded and a Russian American physicist dubbed the explosion big bang.
This is astronomically opposed to what I've learned so far from the Knochel-Hawking school of cosmology.
This book was written in 1983. So at what point did scientists postulate that the beg bang was not an explosion, and what led them to this postulation?
Rhonda, are you in school for physics, or doing self-study? If you are teaching yourself astrophysics, then holy shit, you're amazing! 👍
