John Farrell is an American science writer who wrote The Day Without Yesterday: Lemaître, Einstein and the Birth of Modern Cosmology.

Quotes by John Farrell in Time One

In his later career, Lemaître often had to deal with the suspicions of scientists … who suspected that his primeval atom theory was inspired by religious faith ….

Einstein’s hasty objection and retraction concerning Friedmann’s work seem to suggest a stubbornness based on more than simply what he knew of the stellar velocities of the time. They suggest a prejudice, an ingrown view of the cosmos inherited but never really questioned. There never had been reason to question it until the advent of Einstein’s theory.
