Click For Summary
The discussion critiques an article challenging the Big Bang Theory, noting that it references outdated information, with key links dating back to 1977 and predominantly pre-1990 sources. The initial impression is that the arguments presented are no longer relevant, as many contradictions have been resolved with more recent observations. The commenter encourages others to conduct their own research before engaging further with the article's claims. Overall, the consensus leans toward dismissing the article as lacking in current scientific validity. The Big Bang Theory remains supported by more accurate and contemporary evidence.

I found an intriguing article (well seemingly intriguing; I didn't get to finish reading it) that argues against the BB:

Space news on Phys.org
My first impression was "this must have been written some time ago", as there were several references to apparent contradictions that have been resolved for several years now. Indeed, one of the key links on this page is to an article dated 1977 (!); another has references that are predominantly pre-1990 (many classics from the 1920s and 1930s; nothing wrong with that, just that some of the more recent, more accurate observations would have been nice).

If there's anything specific in this article you'd like to follow up on - after you've done some research yourself (google is a good assistant), just ask.

Otherwise, file this under 'nice try; pity that it didn't match observations' :-p
 

Thread 'Estimates — True Size of the Universe?'

I always thought it was odd that we know dark energy expands our universe, and that we know it has been increasing over time, yet no one ever expressed a "true" size of the universe (not "observable" universe, the ENTIRE universe) by just reversing the process of expansion based on our understanding of its rate through history, to the point where everything would've been in an extremely small region. The more I've looked into it recently, I've come to find that it is due to that "inflation"...
