“This was not with a particular career in mind other than a vague wish to be some sort of scientist", explains Tony. “Other inspirations were the Banesh Hoffmann's book 'The Strange Story of the Quantum' and James Coleman's book 'Relativity for the Layman'."īy this time Tony was already a teenager, and as a result he chose to focus on physics, chemistry and maths from then on. With his Steady State theory of continuous mass creation and his science fiction book 'The Black Cloud', Hoyle was one of my earliest inspirations", explains Tony. “Hoyle's book, which was based on some lectures he had given on the BBC, explained how the heavy elements that made up the Earth had been made in supernova. “I particularly like having the freedom to look across all 'Big Data' issues across the whole of STFC."įred Hoyle's book 'The Nature of the Universe' first sparked Tony Hey's interest in science.
