I heard on a recent podcast that most astronomers and physicists of the early 20 th century, if they thought about it at all, believed that the universe always existed, i. e. it had no beginning. Even Einstein accepted the Steady State Theory, along with many others.
How did these astonomers and physicists reconcile their idea of the eternal universe with the finite lives of stars? Did they think that stars grew old , died, and regenerated themselves?
