Stardate 20010925.0919 (On Screen): For the last 80 years, the "Big Bang" theory has dominated cosmology (despite the efforts of Sir Fred Hoyle to boost the "steady state" theory). But it is troubling, even with the addition of "inflation" because it doesn't really provide a quantum theory of gravity, and it doesn't integrate well with string theory. This stuff is waaay over my head. I don't understand the math. (What do you expect? I'm just a dumb engineer.) But now a group has developed a completely new concept for creation of the universe. The work is still in its initial stages but it looks promising, and it integrates far better with string theory. It's interesting how scientists keep redesigning the universe every century or so. (discussion in progress)
