I will celebrate with chocolate a fundamental victory of being right
For reasons quite different from mine I have been right about there being no such thing as inflation in the cosmological explanation of the big bang. Also there is no current multiverse inobservation of our flat smooth universe. I am very pleased to have been essentially correct all along. It is a lonely celebration since no one either listened or understood what I have been on about regarding inflation theory being bogus.

Inflation theory is ONLY a bandaid, a patch to try to explain the big bang (which DID NOT HAPPEN). Inflation has now been shown to be a fraud by many different explanations in math and by the greatest Nobel Prize winners like Penrose and others.

So Hooray. Its nice to be right about something so fundamental.

What is more likely in reality? It is a gentle bounce universe after a period of slow CONTRACTION into our now reexpanding phase of the universe.

I offer as proof this lecture which can be understood by anyone despite the math barriers. why there is no big bang and how observations prove it.
