A new paper is proposing a new alternative to the Big Bang.
His model includes a concept known as bouncing cosmology.

Silva Neves said his "cosmological model was built from studies in regular black holes," and avoids the need for a singularity in both black holes and the beginning of universal expansion. He notes, however, that this is still purely hypothetical.
"There is no empirical evidence for bouncing cosmologies today," he said. "But there is no evidence for the initial singularity as well."
"The Big Bang as the initial singularity is only a speculation," Silva Neves told Space.com. He said that "there are many observations in cosmology" that support the hypothesis that the universe went through a period of rapid expansion, but that there is no direct evidence that this expansion started with a singularity.
