Although for five decades, the Big Bang theory has been the best known and most accepted explanation for the beginning and evolution of the Universe, it is hardly a consensus among scientists.
Brazilian physicist Juliano Cesar Silva Neves part of a group of researchers who dare to imagine a different origin. In a study recently published in the journal General Relativity and Gravitation, Neves suggests the elimination of a key aspect of the standard cosmological model: the need for a spacetime singularity known as the Big Bang.
In raising this possibility, Neves challenges the idea that time had a beginning and reintroduces the possibility that the current expansion was preceded by contraction. "I believe the Big Bang never happened," the physician said, who Works as a researcher at the University of Campinas's Mathematics, Statistics & Scientific Computation Institute (IMECC-UNICAMP) in Sao Paulo State, Brazil.
For Neves, the fast spacetime expansion stage does not exclude the possibility of a prior contraction phase. Moreover, the switch from contraction to expansion may not have destroyed all traces of the preceding phase.

Pure speculation, nothing more.
We were here ten billion years ago, maybe 100 billion years ago, and we will be back to start over all again in ten billion years.
Really? “Who” was here ten billion years ago? Where are all the skeletons? Think again.
If a contraction phase preceded the expansion stage, then what preceded the contraction phase?
The notion of God and His creation must be eliminated at all costs.
Galactus is from there.
Infinite stacked turtles
Not my theory, but if the universe previously contacted to a mass no bigger than your fist, all the previous skeletons would be gone.
However, the theory that the universe continues to expand and contract may have been around for hundreds of billions of years.
The beings in those previous phases of the universe.
In other words, if God has existed forever, why is our universe only 6 billion years old?
‘The notion of God and His creation must be eliminated at all costs.’
No, it is just the opposite.
We know God has existed forever, and we know this phase of the universe has not existed forever.
God contracted the previous phases of the universe and will contract this universe.
It’s obvious that time had a beginning. Otherwise, how could it get started?
The fact that there is something rather than nothing, and that this something is unimaginably ordered strongly suggests that there is a God.
I believe this has more to do with why matter clumped into galaxies rather than be evenly distributed throughout space. If the previous universe left and imprint on ours then that might explain the clumpiness.
I’m gonna wait until they figure out this universe before I delve into that one too much.
When you exist outside of time, when you are the one that creates time, because matter and time are intertwined, you exist outside of time and are not bound by it. When you have always existed you are by default infinite.
Ok just say you will be dead before you utter an opinion, cuz that is what you are saying.
It would seem to me that an infinite series of contractions and expansions of the universe would be equally amenable to the existence of God as would the Big Bang. Of course both ideas are difficult to get your head around.
Not 6, but 14.5 billion for this universe, His other ones are gone, as this one will be at some far distant point, perhaps when all this universe finally reaches the Great Attractor toward which everything is moving.
If time “had a beginning”, then that requires a time frame within which to place its beginning — a time before time.
