Re: Geoffrey Burbridge Had Died

Thanks for the link, Shneor. Despite never gaining a foothold in the
professional astronomical community, Burbidge was one of a few
iconoclasts (along with Halton Arp and a couple of others) that argued
against the big bang and cosmological redshifts, presenting evidence
(until his death) that quasars are young objects ejected from active
galaxies.

If you haven't read one of Arp's books, a summary of his arguments can
be found at http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/322152
