Fredrick,

I don't believe a big bang is possible, first off. It is, to me, a brainwashing attempt by a Christian scientist to concur with biblical renderings, and this includes the inflationary era. It only works if the universe is finite, space included, because then we can have a contractive point of reference and an expansive point of reference. But it is logically fallicious, because we are then concluding that existence exists inside non-existence.

If we, conversely, think in terms of an infinite space creating finite matter through contraction, it is illogical because infinite space would be contractive everywhere which would negate contraction anywhere. Therefore infinite space would be motionless, in thermal equilibrium at absolute zero - which is synonymous to being non-existent.

I think the point about the light was overlooked a bit. Absorptivity equals emissivity, so what exactly is the cause for the obstacles if not merely abstract dilation of amplitudes and wavelengths?
