the "new theory,is hardly new.
A series of bangs and crunches,is old hat,and ridiculous.

Read "the big bang never happened",although the author is an atheist,he is a physicist who exposes the hoax of the big bang theories.
He starts with the history of cosmological ideas,throughout the centuries,then shows the history of the "big bang",he shows the political aspects of the current theory,and the scientific inpossibility, and the constant invention of unknown entities,i.e,super strings,axions,dark energy,dark matter etc.,to try to explain away the inconsistancies of the big bang theory,as astronomers make newer and newer discoveries,making the big bang, theoretically impossible.
