the problem i have with the Big Bang theory, is that it concludes that, because the universe is expanding, that it must have been compressed in the past.
that conclusion requires that matter cannot be created, except at the beginning.
yet, we see cracks in that framework, since the standard model has been modified to propose the existence of dark energy.. which introduces an unexpected and huge factor. indeed, the largest.
instead of all that,
what if matter is being created all the time, from this mysterious dark energy? and there was no big bang, yet the universe is expanding; it always has, and always will.
