Feb. 10, 1961 - Scientists discover key to secrets of the Universe. Nine years investigation with World's largest radio-telescope:Six British Scientists - led by Professor Martin Rye (42) - radio astronomers at the Mullard Observatory, Cambridge - are to announce to the World tonight that thy have proof to explain one of the greatest mysteries of man - How the Universe Began'. The announcement is result of nine years probing deep into the heavens with world's most powerful radio-telescope.

These have evolved to becomes the stars and planets we see today. Until now many eminent scientists have adhered to the opposite view - the Universe they say having been in a steady state. -Everlasting - as
