Studies
He studied in Vienna and Cambridge and specialized in theoretical physics and astronomy . Professor of mathematics at Cambridge University and King’s College London , he was director of the European Organization for Space Research , later to become the European Space Agency.
Cosmological theory
In 1948 he proposed, in collaboration with the astronomer American Thomas Gold and British Fred Hoyle , the cosmological theory known as the steady state, opposed to the theory of the Big Bang , which is now accepted by most specialists. According to steady state theory, the universe, despite being expanding, has a constant average density of matter; the decrease in density caused by the expansion would be compensated by a continuous creation of matter.
Steady State Model
In contrast to the theory of the Big Bang , the steady state model was unable to give a convincing explanation of the radiation microwave background, discovered in 1965 , and was gradually cornered by the scientific community. Among Hermann Bondi’s works, it is necessary to highlight Cosmology ( 1952 ), in which he compared his hypothesis with other cosmological models.
