Resolves those issues and more.

It resolves the issues of the fundamental problems with the Big Bang and/or Inflation Theory. I seriously doubt it. Unless the book came from some advanced civilization light years away.

"The Kanamits, a race of 9-foot (2.7 m)-tall aliens, land on Earth. One of them addresses the United Nations, vowing that his race's motive in coming to Earth is solely to be helpful to humanity. Initially wary of the intentions of an alien race who came "quite uninvited", even skeptical international leaders begin to be persuaded of the aliens' benevolence when the Kanamits share their advanced technology, quickly putting an end to many of Earth's greatest woes, including hunger; energy becomes very cheap, and nuclear weapons are rendered harmless. The aliens even morph deserts into big, blooming fields. Trust in the Kanamits seems to be justified when Patty, one of a staff of US government cryptographers led by Chambers, cracks the title of a Kanamit book the spokesman left behind at the UN. Its title, she reveals, is To Serve Man."

The author posits a modification to Einstein's theory of gravity, and the results are pretty nifty. No horizon problem, no "inflation," explains "flatness," causes astronomical observation taken as accelerating expansion to make sense without introducing dark energy, etc.

Anyway, it's a good read. He's no more a kook than those who spout off on string theory, multiverses, and various other avenues being explored by theoretical physicists.

I also enjoyed his "Hidden in Plain Sight," which aims to reconcile quantum mechanics with the theory of relativity.

Not saying his theory is correct, just that as he explains it, it resolves a few fundamental "problems" with the big bang.
