The Theory of Observational Relativity Serial Report 5: Is the Big Bang a Theory in Scientific Sense?

Authors: Xiaogang Ruan

The theory of Observational Relativity (OR), as a new theory of physics, reports its significant findings and new insights in the form of serial reports in F1000Research. Now, OR Serial Report 5 focuses on the Big Bang theory of modern cosmology. Human beings always believe that the universe was bestowed by the Creator: no matter time or space must have a starting point. So, cosmologists have invented the Big Bang model: the universe that human beings rely on for survival originated from a Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Einstein's theory of relativity is the most important theoretical basis of modern cosmology, and the invariance of light speed and the doctrine of spacetime curvature play important roles in the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory is not only a product of logical deduction and mathematical formulization, but also has empirical evidences such as cosmic expansion and cosmic microwave background radiation. However, the theory of OR has discovered that the speed of light is not really invariant, and spacetime is not really curved. From the broad perspective of the general observational agent, the theory of OR has clarified that Einstein's theory of relativity, including the special and the general, is that of optical observation adopting the optical agent, which has the observational locality, presenting us with only optical images of the physical world and not representing the objectively physical world. The doctrine of Big Bang, or even the entire modern cosmology, is only a mirage based on such optical images. Since the speed of light is not really invariant, the doctrine of spacetime curvature, the doctrine of cosmic expansion, and Einstein's theory of relativity, including the special and the general, cannot hold true. Can the Big Bang theory still hold up without Einstein's theory of relativity as the theoretical basis? Can the Big Bang theory still hold up without Hubble's doctrine of cosmic expansion as the empirical basis? This article has elucidated for readers from the perspectives of both science and philosophy that the doctrine of Big Bang is not only contrary to science but also contrary to philosophy.
