No big bang

[xelasnave]

Needless to say an articled titled so will get my attention so I post it here..from New Scientist.
Note the reason for the open apporach to submissions mentioned in the last para.
and I now quote
" THE Bible was right all along. There is now "unequivocal proof" that the big bang never happened, and that the world was created in six days. Incredibly, that claim surfaced at last week's prestigious American Physical Society (APS) meeting in Dallas, Texas.

Robert Gentry presented his "new cosmic model", which affirms the Genesis account of creation, at an APS poster session. Now a geophysicist with the Orion Foundation in Knoxville, Tennessee, he once worked for Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

"No one with the APS thinks of this as serious research," says APS spokesman James Riordan. Why, then, has the APS agreed to display the poster? "The APS policy is to accept any abstracts from members that reference physics, even if they are 'crackpot'," says Michael Lubell, APS director of public affairs.

This open policy stems from an incident in 1952, when rejected scientist Bayard Peakes shot and killed a secretary in the APS offices. "Since then, the APS has accepted just about any abstract that comes over the transom," says Lubell

Guess where "gravity rain" will hit the world forum. My crackpot idea finally in a legitimate setting.. is not life grand.

Mind you looking thru New Scientist headliners one can find legitimate stuff that although put forward by a scientist leaves me thinking much the same as the no big bang proposal. I personally still keep two models in mind..big bang and steady state. I dont like big bang because I suspect it as a parrallel to the biblical story..the difference being 6 days for the God method and 13.5 billion years for the big bang method..I think both suggest forces beyond our grasp.. I like to think that there is no reason why one really needs a start or an end to the Universe other than to satisfy religious concerns. But if there be a God I doubt if he would be limited by time he is God after all, would any one dare suggest that for God it could be otherwise.

New Scientist list the 10 most weidiest theories, strangely I have read most of them in New Scientist so where do you go from there??
the list
1. Clashing branes

2. Evolving universes

3. Superfluid space-time

4. Goldilocks universe

5. Gravity reaches out

6. Cosmic ghost

7. It's a small universe

8. Fast light

9. Sterile neutrinos

10. In the Matrix

here is the link if any of these need further research...

and after reading them I dont think gravity rain can be any more weird so I doubt that it will make the top ten.

Robert Gentry - of "Rama" fame? Must be starting to believe in his own fiction at this old age.....

If you think about this stuff too much you hurt your brain
