The Universe is truly enormous, and yet it's only a part of the tree of Yggdrasil.

View Quote In the new formulation, the universe was never a singularity, or an infinitely small and infinitely dense point of matter. In fact, the universe may have no beginning at all. "Our theory suggests that the age of the universe could be infinite," said study co-author Saurya Das, a theoretical physicist at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. The new concept could also explain what dark matter — the mysterious, invisible substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe — is actually made of, Das added.

Some being that was created out of thin air made the Earth and humans? Who's willfully ignorant? Quoted: Let me see if I can understand the Big Bang. Once upon a time the universe was the size of a head of a pin. All the trillions of galaxies and trillions of stars that we observe today were compressed to the size of an atom or something. That really makes sense, doesn't it? Nobody has a clue where that little atom size universe came from but it was just hanging around. Then all of a sudden that atom size universe exploded into the enormous universe we observe today. Nobody knows what cased the explosion but hey, what the heck, why let things like that get in the way of a prosperous theory? Our proof for this magical theory is some kind of background radiation and what seems to be the fact that the universe seems to be expanding outward, otherwise we don't have too much to go on. Thanks a lot for the magic theory but I'll go with intelligent design. It is more logical. Some guy poofed everything into existence that we have zero evidence of is more logical than condensed energy exploding into matter and space? |

Very interesting article. It isn't really challenging the Big Bang, just making the "singularity" less of a singularity and more of an origin with definite mass and operable physics. It would nicely fit into a kind of cyclical universe with periods of expansion and then contraction back into a single dense mass.

Ok, so the new theory says the universe was once very tiny, very hot, and very dense - but technically not a singularity.
