Cyclic cosmology in modified gravity an alternative to Big Bang model

[xion]

So, this is interesting,
2 young Croatian physicists Petar Pavlović and Marko Sossich published an article in the prestigious scientific journal, Physical Review D, which explores the possibility of a new cosmological model of the universe that would be an alternative to the popular Big Bang model.

This is a concept that is often heard from throughout history, but has never been treated as a complete physical model. In his model Pavlovic and Sossich explained the dynamics of space-time and matter from the beginning of this cosmic cycle to the present stage and predicted at one time re-gathering that will lead to a new cycle.

What's interesting is that such a cosmological model from the philosophical aspect reduces the possibility for the so-called "The beginning of everything" which left the theory of the Big Bang to the interpretation of religions which interpreted that event as the creation of the world.

here is the pdf of the model so if anyone interested in this topic should find useful

small excerpt from the intro:

"More than a century after its discovery by Albert Einstein, general relativity is still one of the most successful physical theories and currently our best empirically verified description of gravity. In its essence, general relativity rejected the old Newtonian concept of gravitational force and replaced it with the concept of deformation of space-time structure caused by the distribution of mass-energy."

Absolutely fascinating to me. I can't stop reading it over and over.
