Ever Heard Of Big Bounce Theories?

There are plenty of reasons for seeking Beyond the Big Bang theories (BBB) and serious scientific work is being done on numerous fronts. It is prevalent in postings to arxiv.com.

That's what they were saying just before Relativity and Quantum Mechanics radically changed the fundamental paradigm about 100 years ago.
