The big bang theory of the origins of the universe is now largely received and accepted as a matter of fact, though little direct evidence is available to support its hypothesis. It has been published repeatedly in a manner as to lead the general public and even many well informed readers to accept this theory as a matter of scientific truth without the need for further query or examination. Mathematical models and computer simulations are even run to demonstrate the hypothesis, based as these models have been on the presuppositions of this theory which themselves are seldom called into question. One would indeed now engender the full weight of the scientific community to suggest that the big bang might not only be mistaken in many details, but may be fundamentally and flat-out wrong as a description of the origin of the universe. Refutation of a general theory that has so little supporting evidence and that is yet so well received as a dominant paradigm of science, remains itself an almost impossible task, much less the prospect of constructing a viable alternative explanation for physical process, change and history in the universe. It would be like defeating a grand uncertainty with yet another greater uncertainty.
It is my interest in this chapter to accomplish several interrelated goals simultaneously. The first goal is to see to it that a reasonable counter-case can be made against the Big Bang model by pointing up some of the basic contradictions and fallacies of this model. The idea that light should travel uniformly in great, perfect arcs, only to return repeated to the place of its origination, is an absurd notion that many entertain but few question or carry to any greater critical depth. The second goal is to provide a suitable replacement for the Big Bang model, in terms of my cold fusion model of the gradually emerging dynamic state universe. I accept this alternative to be more consonant with the existing evidence in the form of the elementary distribution of matter in the universe and the known methods for the original composition of this matter. The third is to extend the possibilities of a grand model of cosmology, or of the total universe, as a possible "meta-state" system that may be comprised along more dimensions than we can directly perceive, and that may thus co-occur along several or even multiple pathways at the same time. At this time, this third question is one that is well worth reconsidering in light of a revised model of the space-time construct.
Universal meta-states refers us to a grand over-arching structure of physical reality, and of the whole universe, barring none.
