Suite on verses of Michelangelo Buonarrotti

' If instead of his opposition Eddington had come out and said, " Well, black holes are going to occur in nature ", a large amount of work which was done in the 60s could have been done in the 30s.'
Professor Subramamian Chandrasekhar , now at the University of Chicago, worked in Cambridge in the 1930s, a period when British astronomy was dominated by Sir Arthur Eddington.
Chandrasekhar talks to John Maddox about his pioneering work on the evolution of stars and the struggle he had to persuade the scientific community of its worth.
