		Hoyle had no respect for the boundaries between scientific disciplines, which were artificial social constructs that often stood in the way of a proper comprehension of the cosmos.
		Hoyle's researches during the period 1945-72 were carried out at Cambridge University, where in 1958 he became Plumian Professor of Astronomy and subsequently the founder director of the Institute of Astronomy.
		He retired from this position in 1972, then continued to work actively in many areas of astronomy, attached loosely to a variety of universities, principally, from 1975, to University College, Cardiff.
