Challenging the Big Bang: New Model Replaces Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Dr. Richard Lieu from the University of Alabama in Huntsville proposes a novel cosmological model that replaces the Big Bang with a series of temporal singularities to explain the universe's expansion. This model obviates the need for dark matter or dark energy to account for the universe's accelerated expansion and the formation of structures like galaxies. It posits that the universe expands due to step-like bursts of 'transient temporal singularities' injecting matter and energy, happening too quickly to be observed. These singularities generate negative pressure, similar to dark energy, causing accelerated expansion. Future validation will involve deep-field observations using ground-based telescopes.
