Is the Big Bang a Big Bust?

Big Bang Depiction  (by Yinweichen)

Many a religious doctrine states that there is an eternal core reality.

This has sometimes seemed at odds with the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe began circa 13.8 billion years ago.

Aja Romano of The Daily Dot explains that theorists from Egypt and Canada have now proposed a “new” model in which “the universe has been around since, well, forever.”

In a paper titled “Cosmology from quantum potential,” these researchers utilize “a corrected equation to fit Einstein’s theory of general relativity.”  The corrections do away with the Big Bang dilemma of explaining exactly what happened “the moment the singularity actually, er, happened.”

Then what about the alleged expansion of the universe?  The revised equation takes that into account also.  The new model “proposes that the universe is filled with quantum fluid, perhaps made up of theoretical massless particles called gravitons, which are thought to help mediate the effect of gravity.”  This quantum fluid might “exert a slight but constant force on objects to cause the expansion of space.”
