No Beginning.

String theory is a theory without any supporting evidence and is only a gauge theory that can describe gravity more accurately; the rest is Dr. Greene’s book selling hype.

It may be a little more than that. 'Supporting evidence', just what is 'required' to support any theory? Surely any proposed model, based on observation/behavior, can be modeled mathematically. The modeled math theory is used create a test to reproduce the behavior, keeping in mind that the key word here is THEORY. I see no way of testing for the presence of 'strings' but I do see the behavior described.
Conflicts with 'fundamental substance'? Conflicts with 'Aether'? Test these for validity as well. 'Supporting evidence' of a bang.....we are in it, observing it..........Q7

I also ascribe to this line of thinking, Q7. I consider it fact...

If there was a beginning to everything and there will be an end to everything then infinity does not exist. Nothing is infinite everything is finite. Then what's all the talk about infinity. According to scientist nothing is infinite.

There is no beginning to life,the very idea is absurd,if you really think about it!Life is eternal,but what about the universe?To me the universe is cyclic and has periods of being
"online" and physical,and then withdraws within to go "offline" for a period,each period
seems to me to be on an ascending arc and within the parameters of the evolutionary
pulsings.
