New Theory Challenges the Big Bang: A Universe Born from Multiple Bursts

A groundbreaking theory by physicist Richard Lieu proposes the universe may have formed not from a single Big Bang, but through multiple energy bursts called "temporal singularities". This challenges the long-standing Big Bang model, which suggests the universe began as an infinitely dense point that rapidly expanded.

Key Differences

• Big Bang Model:
  Requires dark matter and dark energy to explain galaxy formation and accelerating expansion.
• Lieu’s Theory:
  Suggests repeated bursts released energy over time, eliminating the need for dark matter/energy.

Why Challenge the Big Bang?
The Big Bang relies on unproven concepts:

• Dark matter to explain galaxy formation
• Dark energy for accelerating expansion

Lieu’s model proposes that undetectable energy bursts could:

1. Drive cosmic expansion
2. Form galaxies without dark matter
3. Eliminate dark energy’s "invisible push"

Challenges for the New Theory

• No direct evidence for temporal singularities
• Less data supporting it than dark matter/energy
• Requires validation through redshift observations

Lieu plans to test his theory by searching for "jumps" in redshift data using telescopes. If confirmed, this could revolutionize our cosmic origin story.
