Abstract

This article recalls three papers published by Fred Hoyle and Jayant V. Narlikar consecutively in 1966 in Proceedings of the Royal Society, London. These papers were largely overlooked at the time but a look back today more than fifty years later shows how relevant they might be even today. Fred Hoyle, one of the most imaginative astrophysicists of the twentieth century, gives examples of how his mind functioned running far ahead of the conventional views of the time.

重温 1966 年的三篇开创性论文：它们与当今宇宙学创造的某些方面的相关性

本文回顾了弗雷德-霍伊尔（Fred Hoyle）和贾扬-V-纳利卡尔（Jayant V. Narlikar）于 1966 年连续发表在伦敦《皇家学会会刊》上的三篇论文。这些论文当时在很大程度上被忽视了，但五十多年后的今天回过头来看，就会发现它们即使在今天也可能是多么有意义。弗雷德-霍伊尔是二十世纪最富想象力的天体物理学家之一，他的思想是如何远远超越当时的传统观点的。

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works. The scope explicitly includes: - Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics. - Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts. - Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
