NOT a chance but you would probably be all day and night explaining your explaining! LOL LOL!

"Good news for Hoyle - bad news for Bondi and Gould - the steady state proponents.
(When I was a lad, the Big Bang hadn't been considered as a serious model for the Universe)"

Hoyle was the originator of the continuous creation theory which I found very exciting when he first expounded it on the radio.

Yes, I think I heard him talk cosmology - I certainly heard Bondi when I was at Uni.i..
Oh, yes - he coined the phrase although he didn't go for the theory. (Quite a daft theory, but for the evidence!) It was Georges Lemaître who started the big bang thing. Amazing for it to be a Catholic priest, bearing in mind all the stick Gallileo got.
I now remember his continuous creation - much more satisfying as it puts off any ultimate questions to infinity, rather than a specific time.

Wasn't Lemaitre involved in the Copenhagen quantum thingy?

afaik Lemaitre was a cosmologist and proposed the 'primeval atom' idea.
He published around 1927 - the same time as Bohr proposed the Copenhagen Doctrine, which binds the particle and wave natures together in quantum theory.
The link between them was really, I reckon, in the relevance of expansion to Einstien's fudge (cosmological constant) and the difficulty in unifying quantum theory with relativity.
'They' (I nearly wrote 'we' but that would be presumptious) still have to sort out that one.
Lemaitre wasn't the first 'big bang' proponent, apparently. Charles Darwin's father suggested it as a possible start to the universe. There's nothin new under the sun is there?

There appears to be no discussion about inflation after the BB. That really blows the mind. By the way how large was the estimated size change during the inflation period?

10²⁶. Quite a lot, eh!
