It was a competitor of the Big Bang model until evidence supporting the Big Bang and falsifying the steady state was found.
Some philosophers appeal to a specific theory that is "timeless" in a more radical sense than the rest of physics, the theory of quantum gravity. This theory is used, for instance, in Julian Barbour's theory of timelessness. [20] On the other hand, George Ellis argues that time is absent in cosmological theories because of the details they ...

[1] Reasons for criticism of the theory of relativity have included alternative theories, rejection of the abstract-mathematical method, and alleged errors of the theory.
The reason we seem to be alone in the universe might be right beneath your feet, scientists have suggested. For years, scientists have been perplexed by the fact that we have not found any other ...
A team of scientists has now argued that the existence of primordial black holes should have triggered the “bubbling” of the Higgs field to such a degree that nothing should have ever been ...
