In an attempt to move debates over cosmological theories into its own thread, I am starting one specifically for the Big Bang Theory and other cosmological theories out there. -Just as a starting point, here are a few of the models that I am aware of(feel free to add more if you know them):-

• Big Bang Theory - George Gamow

• Oscillating Universe Theory - George Gamow (Disproved by Robert Jastrow, founder and director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies)

• Steady State Theory - Fred Hoyle (Also abandoned by Hoyle)

• Inflationary Universe Theory - Allan Guth and Paul Steinhardt 1984

• ZPE-Plasma Universe Theory - Barry Setterfield

• Electric Universe Theories - Many variations


-I have really enjoyed reading through all of these theories over the last several days. I hope this generates some good debates :)-Tony
