Verbatim notes by Spencer MacCallum from conversation with Heath after reading aloud an article in Time Magazine on Hoyle’s concept of “Continuing Creation.”
September 10, 1955
Well I think it’s interesting, and that somewhat exhilarating, perhaps inspiring, events are taking place in the world of the cosmologists. They are coming to abandon the conception of a creation out of nothing and along with it the entropy idea of a disintegration back into nothingness. They are beginning to see the Cosmos as a constantly flowing continuum, constantly evolving without beginning and without end as regards process as well as with reference to substance and energy. And they will soon come to believe or come to recognize, I believe
My notion of continuing creation is a re-proportioning, and time is the dimension toward which the reproportioning gravitates. It is the greater element. Hoyle’s continuing creation is in harmony with everything I say. I nowhere have stated it, but it is implicit in everything I say.
