This is a highly-controversial book in which three distinguished cosmologists argue with persuasion and conviction that the astronomical community is wrongly interpreting cosmological data by using the standard Big Bang model.

This is followed by the most extensive presentation they have ever published of their alternative view of how to interpret the data....
More DescriptionThis is a highly-controversial book in which three distinguished cosmologists argue with persuasion and conviction that the astronomical community is wrongly interpreting cosmological data by using the standard Big Bang model. They conduct a deep and wide review of the history of cosmology, explaining what they regard as its defects and inconsistencies. This is followed by the most extensive presentation they have ever published of their alternative view of how to interpret the data. The work touches the most fundamental questions: the origin, age, structure and properties of the universe.
