Yeah, like, is that good or bad? I remember Chrichton being dismissed  
for being one too. :-)


This is the story of the remarkable 40-year friendship and scientific  
collaboration between the British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle and the  
Sri Lankan mathematician and astronomer Chandra Wickramasinghe … The  
work they are most famous for is their painstaking building of the  
case for a cosmic origin of life. Wickramasinghe and Hoyle's picture  
of a galaxy teeming with life is a stunning one … The scientific  
community has come a long way towards Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's  
position, wholeheartedly embracing the idea of planetary panspermia."
