Meanwhile in the West
An alternative to standard Big Bang cosmology.
Fair to say
Observations have largely not supported it; included as a contribution, not a vindicated theory.
Path to modern innovation
A notable chapter in cosmology debates.
Transmission
Work done in the UK; Narlikar later founded IUCAA in Pune.
