Big Bang Abandoned in New Model of the Universe

If this framework turns out to be an accurate description of our universe, all the theistic cosomological arguments will be even more worthless than they currently are. I doubt any theists will ever concede this though.

"As one of the few astrophysical events that most people are familiar with, the Big Bang has a special place in our culture. And while there is scientific consensus that it is the best explanation for the origin of the Universe, the debate is far from closed. However, it's hard to find alternative models of the Universe without a beginning that are genuinely compelling. 

 That could change now with the fascinating work of Wun-Yi Shu at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. Shu has developed an innovative new description of the Universe in which the roles of time space and mass are related in new kind of relativity."
