Ever since I first heard about the Big Bang as a kid, I’ve never really bought it. The concept of the entire universe being literally a dimensionless point - I just don’t think so. If that’s what the math leads to, doubt the math or the observations the math is based on. Same with dark matter and dark energy - I mean come on, if a theoretical model of the universe says it has to be 20x more dense than we can measure, you rethink the model - don’t decide 95% of everything must be “dark”. Dark is for the 3rd movie in a superhero franchise when the 2nd one doesn’t make enough money, it’s not a way to define the universe.
