Can someone tell me if this makes any sense? This was posted on my message board, and I don't know how to respond. The poster has made references to Hoyle, Alfvén and Shapiro to claim that the Big Bang did not happen.
Quote:
the universe was never created, it's always existed
it has no boundaries, as space and the matter within it extend into infinity
matter has always existed and every element that exists has always existed
matter cannot be created from nothing
there is no evidence to suggest a creation
and there is no evidence to suggest the universe had a begining
all evidence points to an evolving local cluster of galaxies
out of infinite clusters of galaxies which evolve in due course
but all the matter needed to form these galaxies has always been there
and it will always be there, constantly forming evolving dying and recycling
in local clusters
redshift is due to multiple effects of gravitational drag
of which the shapiro effect is only one
the nett result of light travelling vast distances incountering vast amounts of matter
along the way, which not only slow photons but also absorb them
the redshift is the effect of this reduced energy
CMBR is the afterglow of stellar radiation
the ambient temperature of starlight exactly as predicted by British Astronomer
Sir Arthur Eddington
therefore there is no need for expansion
and no need for a Big Bang
