"Big Bang" is an evocative name of a theory that matches observation to a high accuracy
The problem with "evocative" names is that they may evoke things that are not in the theory.
For example, the big bang wasn't an explosion in the common sense of the word. The theory also doesn't imply that the big bang was the beginning of the universe.
- SubiculumCode 2y agoI was being lazy. I think I was just wondering how much the new observations from our new space telescope are really making the big bang untenable...re very early universe already having galaxies, etc... But its not my field, but I was getting the impression that the challenges are mounting up. Also, the problem with observatory science, is that multiple hypotheses can fit the data.
