fundamental question

· The fundamental question of why it is that at early
cosmological times, bound aggregates of order 100,000 stars
(globular clusters) were able to form remains unsolved in the
Big Bang. It is no mystery in infinite universe models. [66]

· Blue galaxy counts show an excess of faint blue galaxies by a
factor of 10 at magnitude 28. This implies that the volume of
space is larger than in the Big Bang, where it should get
smaller as one looks back in time. [67]

Perhaps never in the history of science has so much quality evidence
accumulated against a model so widely accepted within a field. Even
the most basic elements of the theory, the expansion of the universe
and the fireball remnant radiation, remain interpretations with credible
alternative explanations. One must wonder why, in this circumstance,
four good alternative models are not even being comparatively
discussed by most astronomers.
