Errors in the Big Bang Never Happened (#255)

There's been speculation in the popular press, primarily by Eric
Lerner ( @LPPFusion ), claiming the Big Bang never
happened. Supposedly, new data from the James Webb Space Telescope
presents a 'crisis' for an old universe that emerged from a hot
dense plasma, in favor of a much more ancient cosmology -- a plasma
cosmology. Prof. Lewis and I will present flaws in Eric Lerner's
article, loosely based on his 30-year-old book of nearly the same
name, "The Big Bang Never Happened", and evidence that contradicts
his claims about the so-called crisis. Slides will be posted to my
mailing list briankeating.com/list Yet the underpinnings of the Big
Bang are more solid than ever, thanks in large part to the fossil
evidence astrophysicists have found of primordial nucleosynthesis,
also called BBN. Join us for a deep dive into the physics of the
formation of the elements, the redshift distance relation, and the
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation -- perhaps the most
indisputable evidence for the hot Big Bang there is. We will
provide insight into how I review such claims and how you can too
even if you're not a professional cosmologist: judge for yourself.
