Given my current appearance dressing up as pretty well any comic character may indeed seem more normal.
Of course folk who even hint at another reality other than the one laid out by the big bang are attacked and marginalised whilst the audience takes no account of the environment in which the big bang theory grew.
The church was preoccupied for at least twenty years wondering how it could embrace yet another pagen idea that of the cosmic egg before the big bang was presented as a general hypothisis.
The multitudes are told it all came from firstly an observation that the universe was expanding which in itself must mean that everything started at a particular point...sounds reasonable but one must wonder if such an observation could not be explained to fit an entirely different context.
But unfortunately the extrapolation of the observed expansion did not really work..extrapolating on the observed rate of expansion must have the universe so old it could not be worked out... and more unfortunately that fact was not understood in the early stages of formulation of the theory...no the Universe may be expanding in accordance with the current observations however it gets us nowhere..nowhere unless you add a period of super super super fast (may as well say instant) inflation where the universe grows from zip to larger than the observable universe... there is no steady reasonable expansion. .. think about that ...from zip to all we can see to more than the observable universe. ..pick a size at that insant...from zip to over 14 billion light years ...and sure that 14 billion is now approx 100 billion light years...and that is what we can observe..the universe however must have been much bigger for it to appear flat (not showing any hint of curvature due to some gravity limit is the short way of putting it)...so much bigger you can only guess..yet all that in an instant...but that is the evolution of the universe that current cosmology is treating as fact..yes as fact...science uses the word theory in place of a laymans term meaning absolute certainty...you may as well throw out the words scientific theory and insert...100% established unarguable fact..think about that when you hear big bang theory and more particularly the words..the theory of inflation...no observation accompanies the theory of inflation...none... without the theory of inflation the big bang theory fails..yes fails...which to me explains why when threatened of being thrown in the bin because of insurmountable problems the big bang brigade accepted and endorsed the theory of inflation..that reeks of something other than science...really is it even a hypothisis..the universe , a finite singularity (whatever that is) via the theory of inflation doubles and doubles and doubles and doubles until we get the numbers we need and in that process a finite object, the singularity, grows to become an infinite universe..err you can not double finite even by eleventy trillion trillion trillion to reach infinite... . How inconvenient...and I cant not see how the theory of inflation qualifies as a scientific theory..predictions can only be circular.
So ok General Relativity is said to support the big bang theory..GR is finally geometry and for all its grandness and complexity putting it out of reach for mere mortals it is no more than a co ordinate system...and think of this..you can build a good house or a crappy house using the same geometry...the design is the issue not the geometry so why gi e credibility to the big bang theory just because it employs good geometry..why? be ause the outcome was worked out and the geometry emoyed to add credibility.
I have no doubt GR can support an infinite universe just as well as a big bang universe..in fact when DrA came up with GR it supported a steady state model with the inclusion of his cosmogical constant.true..that was how science saw the universe..is it not interesting how he (DrA) dropped that notion ..not like scientists to drop something so quick...put it back in and you can have your (mine) eternal universe.
What could we discover if the big bang was not treated as an unquestionable fact...
