Dear Cory

Since Mattias Bojowald presented his equations to Roger Penrose and Lee
Smolin on the big bounce, the big bang theory is more or less dead. Penrose
started this whole new trend in physics with his book "Cycles of Time".
There are no zeroes and no infinity singns in the universe. As should have
been expected. The big bang only ended up in mathematics the way it did
because it never happened.
Get used to the idea of a massive pulse as universe. And therefore at least
two time dimensions, one of them preceding the big bounce itself.

Best intentions
Alexander Bard
