    Does he have a paper or is this more like, I have a nobel prize now, you have to listen to my pet idea?

    Not that I think he's wrong. Einstein-Cartan (and it's expanded version) have been very interesting for a long time. In that theory, forming a black hole twists a tensor that, instead of creating a singularity, pops a new universe into place with the mass of the black hole fueling it's expansion. I just wonder what his mechanism is.

    The big bang theory, such as it is, is just anthropocentric drivel by scientists quaking in their boots at the thought of leaving christian dogma behind. It's a biased, desperate jump toward anything that seems to have a finite beginning so you can say "hey, he did it, that's when god turned on the lights". At least, that's how I see the move from steady state cosmology to the current circlejerk.

      Yes, it is discussed in this article. He talks about conformal cyclic cosmology which I think is also what's discussed in the OP.
