Eternal Universe
The universe exists because it can. The only alternative to its existence is non-existence which we know is not true. The natural laws that we have proven dictate that the universe exists just as it does. It has no choice in the matter. With infinite possibilities, only those things of sound principle can exist. The universe that we observe around us is of just such sound principle. There was never a time that the universe did not exist, and there will never be a time that it ceases to exist. It simply is because it must be.
Take the Big Bang. The closer you get to the first moment of time, the more problems it presents. You end up ultimately with something created from nothing. That violates the natural laws that we hold to be true. So we begin to speculate on new laws and new realities to justify the notion of the big bang, even when the science we already hold as being irrefutable tells us that it didn’t take place that way.
I am not saying that there was not a Big Bang that happened near to our corner of the universe some 15 billion years ago. I am saying that it was not the beginning. It was another event in the universe that has always been and will always be.
Lets take the BB in terms of a pre-existing universe. Imagine that a hugely massive singularity, Black Hole, reaches a cosmic critical mass. The internal pressure of the hole suddenly exceeds the gravity of the mass. In an instant the billions of years of matter that had been gathering into the hole are released in a massive explosion. A Shockwave is sent out into the universe at near the speed of light followed by the cooling and reconstituting matter from in the hole. As the matter cools and organizes it begins to coalesce into more familiar matter – dust, stars, galaxies – all racing from the point of explosion just behind the massive shockwave. The shockwave itself impacts all the heavenly bodies that existed outside the hole and accelerates them with some force away from the center of the explosion, but does not change entirely the nature of their pre bang motion.
The edge of the shockwave would be denser than normal space, and would have an effect on light that passes through it. It would slow it. So from inside the explosion you would not be able to clearly distinguish light from the outside. It would appear that everything in the universe originated with the big bang. But that would not be true. The big band as the creating force of the universe cannot be true because we would need to throw away good science to allow for it to happen. It is akin to perpetual motion. The only thing perpetual is truth. The universe was created by the truths of natural law. As long as they hold the universe will remain.
