This is an artist's concept of the metric expansion of space, where space (including hypothetical non-observable portions of the universe) is represented at each time by the circular sections. Note on the left the dramatic expansion (not to scale) occurring in the inflationary epoch, and at the center the expansion acceleration. The scheme is decorated with WMAP images on the left and with the representation of stars at the appropriate level of development. Credit: NASA

Sounds like I need a shot from the Flux Capacitor to get my mind right.

I always get a big bang out of these conflicting theories.

If there was no beginning, then how do we explain galaxies moving away from each other today?

Our minds can hardly comprehend our own galaxy, let alone the universe.

So after being told that you were scientifically illiterate if you didn't believe in the Big Bang....scientists will now lecture us authoritatively that there never was a Big Bang. And besides....global warming.

In physical terms, the model describes the universe as being filled with a quantum fluid.

They were for the Aether before they were against it before they were lately for it.

I kinda like the idea we are just a universe of universes?

And if galaxies collide and reform why not entire universes in an undiscovered space/time continuum?

The universe vs multiverse paradox.

When faced with the unknowable, we humans are inclined to use what we have experienced or observed for an explanation. i.e. We are born, live and die and our understanding of space & time is based on those certainties (a beginning, a middle and an end).

God had no beginning and has no end - He is forever and we just don’t get it.

Well ... contrary to what some scientists says ... the universe had a definite beginning. God had told us he created it!

"The scientists propose that this fluid might be composed of gravitons—hypothetical massless particles that mediate the force of gravity. If they exist, gravitons are thought to play a key role in . . . "

massless particles . . . if they exist

If a particle has no mass, in what sense does it "exist"? Are we talking metaphysics or physics?

What is the nature of the space outside of the space defined by the Big Bang Expansion? Into what space is the Big Bang expanding?

The “Big Bang” is not an adequate explanation of the origin of the universe. That does not mean that this theory is correct.

The universe may have existed forever

Ayn Rand believed that the law of causality does not apply to all entities. Some entities do not have a cause and thus do not come into being or pass away, but are eternal, such as the universe as a whole.
