It was not until 1949 that the phrase "Big Bang" was coined by Fred Hoyle, who proposed his own Steady State theory of the universe, and he considered it to be a pejorative comment... but Hoyle eventually abandoned his theory for Lamaitre's, but the name Big Bang stuck... > > > > > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Big_Bang_theory > > > I wrote (the guy who invented the big bang), not the guy who coined it. > > ... except that the guy who proposed the theory called it something else, and 22 years later it had been heavily modified to something a bit different when Hoyle came along and made fun of that theory and gave it a name! In any case, Lamaitre did not "invent" a darn thing, he just proposed a theory that turned out to be the current favorite theory, whether it is correct or not. Time may tell, but certainly not in our lifetimes... Maybe you're not aware...but "invent" and "proposed" mean the samething. They both have the same definition. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
