as alternative to the big bang, let's construct an arc from the farthest points of the discernible universe such that the universe now has the appearance of a ring, like those Saturn. Now all parts of the universe move exactly as they do now about gravity at the center of the ring. Why is this model not discussed?...

The point is that by the time we receive a message from a distant astronomer, we will also be able to see the light that observer is commenting upon.manojr said:When we say a galaxy is 4 bly away, we understand that light took 4by to reach us and therefore we are seeing it as it was 4by ago, but at the same time, the distance between us is now much more than 4 bly (due to expansion of space). I could not understand your comment Chronos, can you please explain what do you mean to say that?

One of the basic observations about the universe is that it looks the same in different directions.

Okay, you got me - I have misunderstood the "big bang." You're right, I should read Phinds's work.

Thanks!
The concept of "Big Bang Skeptic: Constructing a Ring-like Universe" is a scientific theory that challenges the commonly accepted idea of the Big Bang theory. It proposes that instead of a single explosion and expansion of the universe, the universe is shaped like a ring and has been expanding and contracting in cycles.
There are several pieces of evidence that support the idea of a ring-like universe. One is the observation of large-scale structures in the universe, such as galaxy clusters and filaments, that seem to align in a ring-like structure. Another is the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation, which is thought to be leftover energy from the early universe, that also shows a ring-like pattern.
The theory of "Big Bang Skeptic: Constructing a Ring-like Universe" suggests that the universe has always existed in a cyclical pattern of expansion and contraction. Therefore, there was no singular beginning of the universe, but rather it has always existed in this ring-like form.
If the universe is indeed a ring-like structure, it would challenge our traditional understanding of time and space. It suggests that time and space may not be linear, but rather cyclical, and that there may be other dimensions beyond the three that we currently perceive.
The theory of a ring-like universe would have a significant impact on other scientific theories and models, especially those related to the origins and evolution of the universe. It would require a reevaluation of our current understanding of the Big Bang theory, as well as theories about the structure of the universe and the nature of time and space.
