So its not disputing expansion, just disputing a singularity?
Meh, we'll see what predictions it makes and how it can explain things compared to the standard model. Don't read too much into a yahoo news headline, sensational science journalism at its worst. |

The arrogance of man to think that he actually knows anything at all other than that he is wearing pants...is superbly astounding. |

Every scientific theory about the beginning of the universe is just that, a theory, nothing more, nothing less.

Eh, the thing is either way the universe is completely unlike anything we are used to dealing with. If there is an edge to the universe, than what is beyond that edge?

I saw an article that talked about a theory that the universe was one huge space-time continuum loop...no beginning, no end. Didn't really understand it all but the graphics were cool.

There was some philosophy argument that went, in effect: if the universe has no beginning, then there cannot be a present. I.e., if you have to pass an infinite number of points to get to the point we're on now, you're never going t reach the point we're on now. So, given that the present does exist, there must have been a beginning at some point.
It seemed no more ridiculous an argument than any of the "are we living in a simulation" or "multiple universe interpretation of quantum mechanics" philosophy arguments. |

Yeah we did this one, although the other thread title was so full of derp it really brought out the crazies.
As I currently understand this all it does is solve a few mathematical problems at once, it doesn't really change the model. If it's true there was no singularity though that means our information horizon may be extended farther than we thought possible, which is interesting. I like this theory a lot because I've never liked the dark matter/energy hypothesis and this does away with them entirely. |

there's a theory that states if we ever figure out the universe, it will be replaced by something even more bizarre.
there's another theory that states this has happened, more than once. |
