Could the Big Bang be Wrong?

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/outthere/2019/06/15/could-the-big-bang-be-wrong/#.XQhAQ7xKiUk

This question comes up all the time in public forums and on social media. In most cases, it seems rooted not so much in misgivings about the science as in misunderstanding of what the science is. Any meaningful answer therefore has to begin with a crucial piece of clarification: The Big Bang means two quite different things depending on who you are talking to.

In popular conversation, the Big Bang is often used broadly to mean the mysterious primal event that created the universe, and it commonly envisioned as a tremendous explosion emanating from a single point. (To be fair, popular articles and illustrations often reinforce those ideas with oversimplification and confusing language.) But that is not what cosmologists mean by the Big Bang.
One key point is that the Big Bang was not an explosion of the kind any person has ever witnessed. ?This is a hard concept for people to get their heads around,? says Wendy Freedman, a veteran cosmologist at the University of Chicago. ?The first thing to get rid of is an image analogous to a bomb?which is our first tendency to imagine, and which is wrong?where you have an explosion with matter that flies outward from a center. This is not what happens in space. The Big Bang is an explosion of space, and not intospace. There is no center or edge to the explosion.?

I like these types of articles.
Still more bigbang guys than quantum univ astrophysicsts and theoretical side.

Even before 1999, quantum and big bang was in undergrad astrophysics course.
Most of physicist cannot even relate/link gravitational, eletro-magnetic, weak and strong n forces in modern level.

You wanna really bake your noodle, watch the series: How the Universe Works.

I would rather get into centrifugal force debate than Big Bang/Quantum Univ.

Just for you, since you mentioned it the other day.

Thanks to those 1700s-1800s physicists/mathematicians , it made my Fr to Sr years really damn miserable.

Science is the definition of units. Math is the accounting of units. To understand the universe, you have to do the math. I admit I am not fully fluent in the math. Does anyone here fully understand the octonion system?
