Could the Big Bang actually be a Big "Conversion"?
My thought here is that, what if the universe is not expanding from some point, but that it is expanding due to the transfer of matter at the edge of the universe?
In a sense, could it be converting nothing, or anti-matter or something else, into matter, space, and time at the edge and this causes expansion? Like a farmer expanding his fields by cutting down trees...
Tim- I just can't seem to click best answer with that. If distances are growing and not the universe expanding, then what happens to that which is at the "edge"? Does it just curve back around? That would mean that matter would start to come back at us or stop its momentum away from us, something that has never been shown to be the case.

It is only considered a big bang because of the human perception of time. To a being who lived for millions of years who actually watched it? Might look more like a slow and beautiful flowering anomaly.

Actually this is a very good theory,......and I think it's probably kinda what's actually happening sort of.....I rather think that the universe is like a solid bubble,...kinda like a film but solid and it is always moving towards an edge that is always traveling towards another edge,.....sort of like a wound that is always healing itself but always tearing it'self apart at the same time..it's never healed and never killed but always in a process of doing so.....kind of like your farmer clearing his trees at the edge of his field....he'll always have to be clearing more trees in front of him....or eventually behind him...in either case it's a field and more trees in some direction.

The universe has no center and no edge. The closest thing to an edge is the observational horizon, which is the farthest we can see in all directions.

When people say the universe is expanding, they don't mean that the "edge" of the universe is getting bigger. They mean that the distance between stuff in space is getting farther apart.

That is an interesting thought. It'll be interesting to see if it actually is the case.
