It looks like the parts of the Big Bang theory are finally coming off the rails within "mainstream" science circles.
the Young Earth creationist and Steady State Eletric universe people have been pointing out these issues for nearly 20 years. and it seems that 3 out of 4 or more new studies of the comos just show more and more that the Big Bang theory does NOT predict what we see, and doesn't align with reality in many ways.
Stephen Hawking and Fellow Scientists Dismiss 'Big Bounce' Theory in Letter
Aric JenkinsMay 13, 2017
Stephen Hawking and 32 fellow scientists have written a critical letter in response to an article published in Scientific American that details an alternative theory on how the universe began.
Hawking and his colleagues firmly believe in the widely-accepted theory of inflation, which describes how the universe rapidly expanded following the Big Bang. But three physicists, Anna Ijjas, Paul J. Steinhardt, Abraham Loeb, argued in the article that another theory, the "Big Bounce," was more likely an explanation for the universe's origins.
Hawking and his peers did not entertain the idea.
"By claiming that inflationary cosmology lies outside the scientific method, IS&L [the authors of the earlier article] are dismissing the research of not only all the authors of this letter but also that of a substantial contingent of the scientific community," they wrote to Scientific American.
"Moreover, as the work of several major, international collaborations has made clear, inflation is not only testable, but it has been subjected to a significant number of tests and so far has passed every one," the letter added.
Ijjas, Steinhardt and Loeb were disappointed with the scientists' response."We firmly believe that in a healthy scientific community, respectful disagreement is possible and hence reject the suggestion that by pointing out problems, we are discarding the work of all of those who developed the theory of inflation and enabled precise measurements of the universe," they responded.

A recent Scientific American article aroused a letter of protest from some prominent cosmologists, including renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who dispute the article's challenge to the Big Bang theory. In this episode, we explore the many theoretical problems for the Big Bang, and we highlight alternatives available in the Electric Universe and plasma cosmology.
