Why Does the Universe Expand? The Standard Model Can't Explain It
Copernicus replaced the geocentric model's epicycles with a Sun-centered system that explained retrograde motion through our off-center perspective. Today's standard cosmology, with its ad hoc patches like inflation and dark energy, resembles Frankenstein's monster more than Newton's elegant physics. After a century, it still cannot explain why the universe should expand, only that it does. The author argues we must ask what broken symmetries we're missing.
One cannot deny the possibility, but it is difficult to see what mental satisfaction such a theory is supposed to afford.
