Solving the horizon problem with a Delayed Big-Bang singularity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new inhomogeneous cosmological model with a delayed Big-Bang singularity that resolves the horizon, flatness, and cosmological constant problems without requiring inflation.

Contribution

It introduces a novel class of inhomogeneous universe models featuring a delayed singularity, eliminating the need for inflation to solve key cosmological issues.

Findings

Horizon problem is solved without inflation.

Flatness and cosmological constant problems are addressed.

Model provides an alternative to standard inflationary cosmology.

Abstract

The hot Big-Bang standard model for the evolution of the universe, despite strong successes, lets unresolved a number of problems. One of its main drawbacks, known as the horizon problem, was until now thought to be only solvable by an inflationary scenario. Here is proposed a class of inhomogeneous models of universe, getting rid of some of the worst drawbacks of standard cosmology. The horizon problem is solved by means of an initial singularity of "delayed" type and without need for any inflationary phase. The flatness and cosmological constant problems disappear.
