Why Big Bang is Implausible

Summary: Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted cosmological model. It has

been widely claimed that it is well supported by evidence. However it is found thatit is only a convenient explanation for several observations but the assumptions

underlying Big Bang theory are neither supported by independent evidence nor

meet the test of plausibility. Big Bang theory and observations explained by it are

the only evidence in support of assumptions underlying Big Bang theory. Moreover

alternative explanations to the same observations do exist but they have not been

duly considered so far.

The big theory in brief is as under (Ref: Wikipedia):-

The Big Bang theory is the prevailingcosmologicalmodel that describes the early

development of theUniverse. According to the theory, the Big Bang occurred

approximately 13.77 billion years ago, which is thus considered theage of the

universe. After this time, the Universe was in an extremely hot and dense state

and beganexpandingrapidly. After the initial expansion, the Universe cooled

sufficiently to allow energy to beconvertedinto varioussubatomic particles,

includingprotons,neutrons, andelectrons. Though simple atomic nuclei could

haveformedquickly, 3, 79,000 years were needed before the appearance of the

first electrically neutral atoms. The first element produced washydrogen, along

with traces ofheliumandlithium. Giant clouds of these primordial elements later

coalesced throughgravityto formstarsandgalaxies, and theheavier

elementswere supposed to have been synthesized eitherwithin starsorduring

supernovae.

The Big Bang is the most widely acceptedtheorywithin the scientific community.

Evidence in its support include theabundance of light elements, thecosmic

microwave background,large scale structure, and theHubble diagramforType Ia

supernovae. The core ideas of the Big Bangthe expansion, the early hot state,the formation of helium, and the formation of galaxiesare derived from these

and other observations that are independent of any cosmological model. As the

distance between galaxy clusters is increasing today, it is inferred that everything

was closer together in the past.

Quite often straight line logical interpretation of available evidence gives rise to

theories which are nothing more than a convenient summary of observations.

However the only reasonable approach would be examining consistency of such

theories with large number of well established facts and natural laws embracing

the theory. Karl R. Popper has rightly said that theories cant be proved on the

basis of evidence alone. A single observation contradicting the theory is sufficient

to disprove the theory. A theory has also to be tested on the basis of Plausibility

Principle which means that for a theory to be true and correct, it has to be

plausible with all laws and things embracing it. Hertz observed that Maxwells

Equations have been accepted on the basis of Plausibility Principle, since the

underlying logic was difficult to understand.

Further same set of facts can give rise to multiple theories and then all thecompeting theories have to be differentiated against each other on all possible

parameters to arrive at the most acceptable theory.

Big Bang theory is implausible on the following among other grounds:-

1. No explanation is provided about source of dense matter.2. There is no answer to the question What exactly is/was dense matter?3. What is the independent evidence supporting existence of dense matter?4. What precipitated Big Bang in the so called dense matter?5. How was the pre Big Bang Universe filled with an incredibly highenergy

density,homogeneouslyandisotropicallywith hugetemperaturesand

pressures.

6. What is the source of this energy?7. What exactly is high energy density and what independent evidence

supports its existence?

8. In the pre Big Bang universe laws of physics did not apply. So was it a totalchaos or some other set of laws applied. If later was the case than whatwere the laws applicable to pre Big Bang universe?

9. How can subatomic particles keep their independent existence for3, 79,000 years when this is not normally known to happen?

10.How Big Bang led to a universe organized on the basis of laws of physics?

11.What is the source of laws of Physics in the absence of externalinterference?

12.Cant the evidence in support of Big Bang theory be explained on the basisof the assumption that universe keeps getting created all the time and

hence keeps expanding under the conditions even now prevalent. So no

extraordinary conditions are required for creation and expansion of

universe. The natural laws that operated in the beginning are operative

even now and shall remain operative in future as well?

13.How could giant clouds of primordial elements coalesce through gravity toform stars and galaxies?

14.How is observed diversity in elemental composition of planets and starsconsistent with Big Bang Theory?

In brief Big Bang Theory as an explanation of origin of universe is quite

implausible when examined on the basis of Plausibility Principle.

Author: Dr Mahesh C. Jain is a practicing medical doctor has written the book

Encounter of Science with Philosophy A synthetic view. The book begins with

first chapter devoted to scientifically valid concept of God and then explains

cosmic phenomena right from origin of nature and universe up to origin of life

and evolution of man. The book includes several chapters devoted to auxiliary

concepts and social sciences as corollaries to the concept of God. Consciousness

is one of the aspects of and had to precede origin of universe. This is the only

book which deals with origin of nature and universe from null or Zero or nothing.
