Not all people on earth have converted themselves to the BB theory. Although the Steady State theory is not a proper alternative (creation of matter also), I like to reflect on a theoretical cosmological model, that has the following properties:

4D Space-Time frame without begin or end (infinite), space-time is essentially flat.

First objection is, how to remove Olbers' paradox. It seems possible, assuming that we have no upward limit on structures, super-structures etc, which in their nature are fractals, due to the way gravity works in combination perhaps with electromagnetism in plasma.

Has anyone found a fractal solution for removing Olbers' paradox?.

Furthermore, of course there would be a need for explaining the large scale structure more extential then BB theory can, as also the CMBR.

Anyone proposals or reflections on this?

In the end, there is no begin.

PS.
I am aware of a Inflation variant, in which the Cosmos has infinite Inflation stages.
A galaxy in this model is in essence a 'false vacuum' bubble, creating their own universe (the 'old' island universe model someway). This variant encapsulates a hierarchic (tree-like) structure for space-time, creating new space-time frames. A kind of evolution of universes, a spawned universe unherits some properties of the parent. Nice feature of this model is: a universe can be rotating.
