Scope and content
Has been interested in astronomy for 40 years. Read James Jeans' The mysterious universe when he was in high school. Has read FH's books, including Ten faces of the universe, in which he does not 'recognize what little I recall of our old steady-state theory'. Expounds his thoughts about our perception of the world, from the point of view that our experiences are all psychological projections, and cannot be directly linked to the external environment.
