I have no “favorite pet theory”.
I am merely interested in knowing what is true.
What is NOT true, and I can assert this beyond a reasonable doubt, is the Big Bang story and certain necessary offshoots such as black holes and neutron stars.
The same institutional corruption and consequent lack of scientific rigor in favor of “consensus” (AKA agreement of grant funders) that is so evident in climate hysteria, also infects the pursuit of the failed Big Bang model.
I can entertain any number of ideas that may be true.
The existence of black holes is not one of them.
The existence of black holes is predicted by the General Theory of Relativity which is currently the most infallible scientific theory ever devised.
