Scientist claims Big Bang theory is wrong and shares new theory about how universe was made

Normally, when people talk about how the universe was created, the conversation is either about science or religion. Most scientists believe in the Big Bang theory, which says the universe started with one huge explosion. On the other hand, many religious people, like Christians, believe God created everything. 

But there are always new ideas being thrown around, and now a scientist has come up with a bold theory that challenges the Big Bang itself. His idea isn’t about aliens or anything like the multiverse you hear about in Marvel movies  it’s something more grounded in physics. 

Richard Lieu, a professor from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, believes the Big Bang didn’t happen the way most scientists think. Instead of one single, massive explosion creating the universe, he says it was formed by a series of quick, powerful bursts. He recently published a new theory that suggests the universe came into existence through these rapid-fire events, which he calls “temporal singularities.” 

According to Lieu, these bursts of matter and energy happening over time could explain how the universe expanded and how galaxies formed  without needing to rely on dark matter or dark energy. In traditional science, dark matter is thought to be the invisible glue that holds galaxies together, and dark energy is believed to be the mysterious force causing the universe to expand faster and faster. But so far, no one has ever directly observed either one. 

Lieu argues that the bursts he describes are incredibly fast and rare, which is why scientists haven’t detected them. He says this could explain why we keep searching for dark matter and dark energy without ever actually finding them. His new model updates some earlier work he published in 2024 and is being called “groundbreaking” by those who are interested in alternative theories of the universe. 

He believes his idea solves some big problems with the Big Bang theory. Instead of needing invisible, unproven substances to explain how the universe behaves, his theory suggests that sudden, timed bursts could have shaped everything we see today. 

In the end, if Lieu’s theory holds up, it could completely change how we understand the origin of the universe  and possibly make us rethink the need for dark matter and dark energy altogether.
