The Physical Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy
Although the relative statement is the same, the philosophical implications are
different. A deficit of near sources could be allowed by the steady-state theory,
providing one was willing to admit the possibility of a local fluctuation near
ourselves.
It is very desirable that alternatives to the steady state theory should exist to serve
as alternative bases for evaluation of the experimental evidence, but it is a
mistake to think that the big bang concept provides an alternative. To put a big
bang ...

Although it differed considerably from the original steady state theory, the Hoyle-
