Thanks for the reply. As a matter of fact I have come accross some of these ideas already (like the idea of Grote Reber 'Eternal, Boundless, Stable Universe', and studied some of the arguments why the Big Bang Theory might not be the correct theory.

That's why I have come up with this topic on here in the first place, although I miss a lot of background on all the issues involved, but trying to keep up with it.

What still is missing I think is a worked out and complete description of this alternative theory of the cosmological model, with reliable evidence based on scientific data, and which can give us a good explenation why the cosmos looks like we observe it to be.

I admit, I did not studie the proposals for alternative models to closely, so it might well be there already is a well-defined model, with observational evidence, so that's why I started this topic to talk about this with others.

I will study the availabe material on this issue more deeply, and will refer to that later on.

For now, if may I ask, what is in short the kind of cosmological model you think might work?

Does it fit more or less the description I put forward (no beginning, eternal and infinite in all extent)?

PS.
I could not find something on Olbers' paradox on the page, but I have not checked all the links (some of them did not work properly: page removed).

Could you direct me to material on how to remove Olbers' paradox and how to explain the CMBR in such a model?

Thanks!
