What if the Big Bang theory is Wrong?

Question

Man has been known to make mistakes. What if the theory of the Big Bang is incorrect.? Is it possible that the evidences that scientists have used are based on an illusition? ie: just like if you were stuck in a desert and you see a mirage but once you get closer you realize it is not there. What if space is warped (ie: waves) and what we see is just a part of space. ie: the first crest. If we actually go to the first crest, we may see the second crest. The theory that everything is moving away from each other may-be true up to the first crest but what about beyond this crest. If we believe that there is a beginning then there must be an end. As we know nothing can come from nothing. It is lot more plausible to believe that the universe always existed and things are always changing and moving around in a random fashion.

Answer 1

Everything we know about, everything we can see, behaves as if 13.7 billion years ago it was a dense, hot plasma that has been expanding and cooling ever since. That's the Big Bang theory, and there is a tremendous amount of overlapping, detailed evidence to show that it's correct. The Big Bang theory being wrong is about as likely, and makes about as much sense, as the idea that a Sun-centered solar system is wrong. Essentially all of modern astronomy depends on the Big Bang to make sense. The main observations are:

1) The redshift of more distant galaxies is larger than that of nearby galaxies.

2) Quasars and radio sources are seen to evolve. There were many quasars in the past, now there are almost none.

3) The amounts of the light elements Deuterium and Hydrogen make sense in the context of neucleosynthesis in the Big Bang.

4) The Cosmic Microwave Backround Radiation is as predicted by the Big Bang theory, both in magnitude and in the details of its anisotropy in amplitude and polarization.

5) All stars and galaxies evolve as if that evolution were set into motion by the Big Bang.


Your notion of mirages and crests makes no sense in the context of modern physics. We do see some warpage of space, particularly gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies, but the Cosmic Microwave Background is most certainly only 400,000 lightyears from our event horizon.

Many current versions of the Big Bang involve a Universe that exists eternally in both the past and future. Our Big Bang was not necessarily the beginning of the Universe.

Answer 2

All the Theories depicting the origin of the universe so far have their own plus side & drawbacks. When we analyse their credentials
with the help of established science & existing technology , the more questions a theory answers , the more cridibility it gets ; likewise the more unresolved question pile up , a theory is bound to be scrapped (eg. The Collision Theory ) . Though the Big Bang theory is the widely accepted one than the others , still the fact remains that it doesnt have the basic answers for the very name it stands for : Like -
A. What`s the substance that Banged( Exploded) initially ?
B. What triggered the Bang ?
C. Since there was no space & time, where was it before the
Bang ?
These are few primitive questions the Big Bang doesnt even mention or address.
The bottom line is , as time goes on and science progresses it`s bound to be scrapped & replaced by another one( more wierd), and this will continue generations after generations till Dooms day ( may be ).

Answer 3

Just becuase something has a percieved beggining does not mean it has an end. The Big Bang Theory is just that, a Theory. A theory is a logical assumption based on an agreed up understanding. The Bing Bang theory is the best guess that Humans can undertsand to explain how a universe is formed. Does it make it True? no, does it make it Real?, no.
Does it matter how the Universe, as we understand it, came to be? not really.
Are there Multiverse Platforms, of course there can be.
The fun is in the learning and then trying to make a mathematicall explanation of the events that you are trying to convey.

Answer 4

The theory is generally accepted on the base of the theory of General relativity and on the Hubble idea that the Universe is expanding.Einstein's original Idea was that it was a static Universe in equilibrium. The present Big bang theory says it is not, because of the observed doppler effect of the light signals coming to us from distant Galaxies.

However The Raymond Redbourne theory disproves the Doppler effect. Instead he relates the effects of light signals as being the result of Wave Dispersion. In that case as per Wave Dispersion effect it shows that the Universe is in perfected dynamic equilibrium (no outward reccession of Galaxies).

Hence, The possibilities that the Universe is expanding on the Basis of the Big bang theory is very extremely remote.

For most of us simple Humans who are not very well versed in Science ,we dont paticularly care whether the Big Bang theory is right or wrong. WE are Basically only satisfied to know Who Created the Universe as it is,and how He did it is very unconsequential to us not all knowing barely knowledgeable humans.

Answer 5

You aint saying anything right or wrong Nobody has an accurate figure of 1) how much lithium there is in the universe or 2) how much there should be in the universe for 2 - how can you calculate how much there should be, if you dont have a accurate accounting of ALL the processes that have produced/destroyed lithium over the past 14bill years? Sure you can get estimates but thats all they are - estimates (not much better than guesses) to claim there should be 50% more than there is, is just meaningless and stupid

Answer 6

We coudl be wrong, but there is a LOT of evidence that it did happen.

I don't see how it's more plausible to believe in a universe that has always existed. Have you really sat and thought about that?

I read once where someone said that the universe could be collapsing and we are seeing it backwards. I wish I could find that again, because it actually seemed to make sense at first blush.

Answer 7

Of course there's a possibility that it is wrong. The reason is that universe is so vast that scientist have no idea where it leads to, but they have to come up with a theory for everything or else man will always be thinking bout the same question and make no advance. I think that universe is like a place with similar characteristic like earth. I think the universe is like a very huge ball just like earth, with gravity. So wherever we go, we will always come back to the same point.

Answer 8

So what? It's only a theory, but it's the best one anyone has come up with. Do you have a better one? (besides the moron Bible theory)

Answer 9

What if it's all wrong and we don't know $#!t

I'm okay with not knowing and just having faith in my own day to day life. Faith that it will all be okay, and when the day comes that it won't be okay, then I will thank my pennies that I had a pretty decent life.

Answer 10

If the big bang theory is wrong we are not here!!
