The Spin
Narrative A
The black hole universe model solves fundamental problems that plague standard cosmology. The Big Bang Theory begins with an impossible singularity and relies on mysterious dark energy and inflation fields that have never been directly detected. This new approach uses only well-established physics to explain cosmic origins naturally.
Narrative B
While intriguing, this alternative model faces significant challenges in replacing the well-tested Big Bang framework. The standard model successfully explains cosmic microwave background observations and galaxy formation despite requiring some unknown components. New theories must demonstrate superior explanatory power before they can overturn established science.
