Alternate Explanations for the Universe

   Personally I've become more and more distasteful of the ways scientists claim some theories as facts, when this doesn't allow for alternate theories.

This has led me to an interesting website that tries to explain a universe that doesn't involve the big bang, rather this website claims a belief in an infinite universe that needs no beginning or end. It also explains in detail the physics involved in such a world.

I cannot post all of it, because of space issues, but here are the links and some of the articles.

 Basically summarised, the current paradigm of representing matter as discrete 'particles' that
  generate 'fields' in 'space-time', while
  useful, is only an approximation of reality, and it causes numerous problems
  because of this. (This is well known, and explains the academic foundations
  of our postmodern culture of no absolute truths).

  To correct these errors it is necessary to reject the 'particle' conception
  of matter (as Einstein did, see below) and describe matter in terms of Spherical
  Standing Waves in Space that cause the particle effect at their Wave-Center.

Effectively we are combining the Absolute Space assumed by Newton
    (1678) with the spherically spatially extended structure
    of matter as assumed by Albert Einstein in his Theory
    of Relativity (1905 - 1916) and the scalar wave properties
    of matter discovered by Schrodinger and de
    Broglie (foundations of Quantum Theory, 1928).

  Two further points are important here to correctly understand these central
  concepts of the Wave Structure of Matter.
Firstly, Newton's Absolute Space was considered a 'background' reference frame
  for the motion (and acceleration) of matter 'particles'. Thus in Newton's Space
  matter did not affect Space (matter was somehow separate as 'particles'). Einstein
  rejected the 'particle' conception of matter and tried to unite matter and
  Space (and time, gravity) as one thing, by representing matter as continuous
  spherical fields. So in Einstein's relativity matter does affect Space, as
  matter and space are united (i.e. matter is spherically spatially extended
  and represented as a spherical field).

  The Wave Structure of Matter agrees with Einstein, Matter and Space are one
  and the same thing (there are no 'particles'), and thus matter does affect
  space and its properties. The central difference is we are describing matter
  in terms of Spherical Waves in Continuous Space, rather than
  Einstein's (failed) field theory of matter as Continuous Spherical
  Fields in Space-Time.
Secondly, and this is mainly to physicists, it is important to recognise that
  there are two very different types of waves used in physics, the vector
  electromagnetic waves developed by Maxwell, which
  describe both a quantity and direction of force, and the Scalar waves
  of Quantum Theory, which are described by a Wave Amplitude only. The
  Wave Structure of Matter, which describes matter as Spherical Waves in a physically
  real Space, requires the use of the Scalar Waves from Quantum Theory (as Physicists
  would know, there are no spherical solutions for vector electromagnetic waves
  - which is why Richard Feynman had such problems!)
The Wave Structure of Matter is explained in more detail in the short summary
  to physics below. And while I do realise that new knowledge is generally confusing
  to begin (a limitation of the human mind that affects us all), I can assure
  you, that once understood, the Wave Structure of Matter is surprisingly simple,
  and very obvious and sensible...........

Einstein's General Relativity requires a finite
spherical universe (it cannot be infinite because of Mach's Principle,
with which Einstein strongly agreed, that the mass of a body is finite,
is determined by all other matter in the universe, thus all other
matter in universe must be finite). 

  Two problems;
 a) What
surrounds this finite spherical universe? (Einstein used his spherical
ellipsoidal geometry of General Relativity to propose curved space - if
you travel in any one direction you will curve around and eventually
return to your starting point - subtle, clever, weird, wrong).

  b) What stops finite spherical universe gravitationally collapsing (thus Einstein's Cosmological / Antigravity Constant).
 2. Two discoveries, one theoretical, one empirical
sent Cosmology down the path of the Big Bang Theory for the creation of
our universe.
 a) Friedman used Einstein's equations to show that an
expanding universe was possible by the equations, and solved the
problem of the collapsing universe and thus removed the need for
Einstein's Cosmological constant. Einstein was reluctant - believing in
a static (non-expanding universe).

b) Then Hubble famously showed the relationship between distance and
redshift. If Doppler shift caused this redshift then it meant stars /
galaxies were moving apart.

Einstein, swayed by this argument, changed his mind - thus his comment
'My biggest blunder' referring to the Cosmological Constant.
As we shall explain though, this is not the correct
solution, in fact Einstein's 'cosmological constant is largely correct,
but it is not caused by anti-gravity within the universe, but by the
gravitational forces of matter outside our finite spherical universe
within an infinite space.

  Further (and this will be explained in detail below, and thus will make more sense if you persevere!)

The only test of scientific truth is how well a theory corresponds
to the world we observe. Does it predict things that we can then see?
Or do our observations of nature show things that a theory says are
impossible? No matter how well liked a theory may be, if observation
contradicts it, then it must be rejected. For science to be useful, it
must provide an increasingly true and deep description of nature, not a
prescription of what nature must be.
In the past four years crucial observations have flatly contradicted
the assumptions and predictions of the Big Bang. Because the Big Bang
supposedly occurred only about twenty billion years ago, nothing in the
cosmos can be older than this. Yet in 1986 astronomers discovered that
galaxies compose huge agglomerations a billion light-years across; such
mammoth clustering of matter must have taken a hundred billion years to
form. Just as early geological theory, which sought to compress the
earth's history into a biblical few thousand years crumbled when
confronted with the aeons needed to build up a mountain range, so the
concept of a Big Bang is undetermined by the existence of these vast
and ancient superclusters of galaxies. 
 These enormous ribbons of
matter, whose reality was confirmed during 1990, also refute a basic
premise of the Big Bang - that the universe was, at its origin,
perfectly smooth and homogeneous. Theorists admit that they can see no
way to get from the perfect universe of the Big Bang to the clumpy,
imperfect universe of today.

 If we abide by the rules of Science, which aims to unite a posteriori / empirical evidence from our Senses with a priori
reason / logic from Principles, it is clear that we can now describe
Matter (Reality) more simply in terms of Spherical Standing Waves in
Space (rather than discrete particles and forces / fields in space and
time).

  And as Wittgenstein rightly observed, Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday.

The purpose of this website is to explain and solve these previous
philosophical problems that arose because of the wrong metaphysical
foundations of our language (currently founded on four separate things
- Matter as 'Particles' generating 'Forces / Fields' in 'Space' and 'Time').

  Very briefly summarised;

  To unite these four separate things we must describe Reality from One Thing. The Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter is founded on One Principle which describes One Substance, Space, and its Properties as a Wave-Medium. Matter Exists as Spherical Standing Waves in Space.

  The discrete 'particle' effect of matter is formed by the Wave-Center of the Spherical Standing Waves. (See Diagrams below.)

  Time is caused by wave Motion (as spherical wave motions of Space which cause matter's activity and the phenomena of time).

  Forces / Fields
result from wave interactions of the Spherical In and Out Waves with
other matter in the universe which change the location of the
Wave-Center (and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating a particle'.
