Challenging the Big Bang: A Multi-Singularity Origin for the Universe

In a study published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Dr. Richard Lieu, a physics professor at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), which is a part of The University of Alabama System, suggests that the universe was formed on the steps of multiple singularities rather than the Big Bang alone to explain the universe’s expansion.
