Hermann Bondi was a renowned astronomer and cosmologist, known for his research in the field of cosmology. Born on November 1, 1919, in Germany, he later became a British citizen. His work focused on stellar evolution, black hole theory, and cosmology. Bondi is recognized for his contributions to the understanding of stellar evolution, particularly his theory on the energy production of stars through nuclear fusion. He also made significant contributions to black hole theory, introducing the concept of Bondi accretion, which describes the process of matter approaching a black hole. In cosmology, Bondi, along with Thomas Gold, proposed the Bondi-Gold theory, predicting the existence of dark matter in the universe. His work has had a profound impact on the development of modern cosmology. more

“In an enterprise such as the building of the atomic bomb the difference between ideas, hopes, suggestions and theoretical calculations, and solid numbers based on measurement, is paramount. All the committees, the politicking and the plans would have come to naught if a few unpredictable nuclear cross sections had been different from what they are by a factor of two.”

“So much goes into doing a transplant operation. All the way from preparing the patient, to procuring the donor. It's like being an astronaut. The astronaut gets all the credit, he gets the trip to the moon, but he had nothing to do with the creation of the rocket, or navigating the ship. He's the privileged one who gets to drive to the moon. I feel that way in some of these more difficult operations, like the heart transplant.”
