Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion regarding the criticisms of the Big Bang theory, particularly concerning claims of objects being older than the universe itself.
  • Another participant suggests that a specific individual, Ned Wright, may provide insights into the criticisms mentioned, linking to a resource that disputes the claims made in the article.
  • A third participant asserts that the topic is banned, indicating that it may not be suitable for discussion within the forum's guidelines.
  • A final participant characterizes the article as bogus and suggests it does not align with the scientific consensus, implying that it misrepresents established scientific understanding.

TL;DR
Questions about BB weaknesses
Hi
all, I was reading this article
https://asiatimes.com/2020/11/the-big-bang-never-happened-but-fusion-will/
And I got somewhat confused. As most I've been taught that BB has succeeded in giving most of the cosmological predictions that we observe [nucleosynthesis, formation of galaxies, cmb etc]. I also know that there are fighters of a theory every now and then, blaming the current science for not considering their alternatives.
However I am not very expert to understand if the examples of bb weaknesses are true or if they have already been answered. Eg the 10 times older objects than the age of the universe. Anyone who might want to help?

This is a banned topic. I presume the Mentors will move this out of view forthwith.
 
This article is bogus and in violation of the Physics Forums mission of accurately presenting science as it is generally understood by professionals in the field.

The thread is closed and remains visible only to refer people to the Lerner article linked by @Bandersnatch.
