For this new topic I would like to start by following the criteria for the alternative theories forum:
1. Explain how the "alternative" theory differs from the mainstream theory in its predictions/explanations of phenomena.
2. Outline why the alternative theory is superior to the mainstream one.
3. Explain any flaws in the standard science one that are addressed by the alternative theory.
4. Outline any experimental evidence or tests that do/might enable us to distinguish between the alternative theory and the mainstream one, in order to determine which is superior.
1. The alternative theory differs from the standard Big Bang model in proposing that the universe is finite with a spacetime boundary. Matter formation took place in an already existing spacetime.
2. The alternative theory provides an explanation for the expansion of space and a source of energy for the formation of matter.
3. The flaws in the standard Big Bang model are that the basic concept has always had to be revised in the light of new observations and calculations which has led to the doubtful concepts of inflation, dark matter and dark energy.
4. The alternative theory requires further analysis to show that the model is consistent in every respect with observations regarding the quantity of mass in the universe now and in the past, the expansion of the universe, the formation of the first galaxies and the evidence provided by the CMB.
