What If the Big Bang Wasn’t the Beginning? New Study Proposes Alternative

The universal origin story known as the Big Bang postulates that,
13.7 billion years ago, our universe emerged from a singularity — a
point of infinite density and gravity — and that before this event,
space and time did not exist (which means the Big Bang took place at no
place and no time).  There is ample evidence to show that the universe did undergo an early period of rapid expansion — in a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, the universe is thought to have expanded by a factor of 1078
in volume. For one, the universe is still expanding in every direction.
The farther away an object is, the faster it appears to move away from
an observer, suggesting that space itself is expanding (rather than
objects simply moving through space at a steady rate). [Big Bang Theory: 5 Weird Facts About the Universe’s Birth].Read More
