@gungasnake,

From the link:

Quote:

Since its beginnings, the Big Bang Theory has evolved to rely on a growing number of hypotheses required to explain observations:

Yeah, it's called progressive learning. As we develop greater capabilities to make more numerous and detailed observations, it's going to happen. What's the problem?

Progressive? Yeah, that'll win gunga over...

("Progressive learning" must be something taught in those Marxist public schools.)

@Kolyo,

OK, "incremental," then.

It's called having to progressively/incrementally add increasing volumes of ad-hoc bullshit in order to keep on fooling some of the people all of the time....

I long ago came to the conclusion that scientific theories on how the universe works and how we came to be are 99% guess....a rate on par with the Bibles version of the story.

@gungasnake,

Of course, it's ad hoc. It's required to fit observation, rather than some a priori bias or preference.

I may have missed it somewhere, gunga, but please tell me how you think the universe came into existence.
We hear a lot from you about how it didn't, so you should now update us with your current thinking, I reckon.
If you don't have the time, please supply a link or two where you've posted your theory here in the past.

A laudable inquiry on your part, your Lordyship, but a waste of time. Gunga Dim is just a contrarian. He won't say what he believes, he's just here to deny what he doesn't wish to believe.

If I had to put money on it, I'd go with the notion that the physical universe, like God, is eternal and has no beginning or end. Anything else leads to conundrums.

Based on your years of study of physics, no doubt. I doubt you could solve a high school physics problem, but you purport to lecture the world's physics community about cosmology.

Yeh, that crap about all that cosmic stars background radiation and redshifting forever merely means that "c" is actually slowing down in the outer reaches of the known universe ?.

@farmerman,

At first I thought gunga was talking about the TV show of the same name (which, btw, is a great comdy)
