Oh? And what did he ditch it for? That is, what's the "new theory?"

I only caught the tail end of it, and it seems to be something brand new, but more and more astrophysicists are opting to dismiss the "something out of nothing" belief they held for a few decades, and Arno is one of them. It is not the inflationary theory, but like so many emerging ones, it denies the Big Bang as the "beginning".

Perhaps you're referring to the dismantling of the redshift marker to determine distance from us. Decades ago, pictures taken by Astronomers registered a quasar next to a spiral galaxy. There was a 'filament' connecting the two, in which several very bright objects could be clearly discerned. The problem with the pictures was that the redshift for the quasar was vastly different from the spiral galaxy, meaning that to conventional theory, these objects should have been separated by millions of light years yet they were side-by-eachward!

A current working theory generated from studying this phenomenon is that the objects like the quasar are a creation source for stellar material. Astronomers and Physicists still haven't come up with a way to understand how such vastly different redshift signatures could be coming from stellar sources in such close proximity.
