| May 15, 2022 at 13:47 | comment | added | Markoul11 | I totally understand the scientific method and you are absolutely right. But sometimes IMHO this is not enough. One cannot ignore that what is actually theoretically proven that the cosmos is larger than our observable Universe and therefore interlinked since our observable Universe is not a closed system. I think it would be better to admit that we cannot know and this problem is unsolvable due to our observational limitations. | |

We have no evidence about what is happening in the unobservable universe. If there are other parts of the cosmos that are older we will never observe them. | |
| May 15, 2022 at 13:16 | comment | added | Markoul11 | Thank you for your canonical answer provided. I actually was referring that creation of cosmos is older than creation of our observable Universe (Big Bang) and If I understand it correctly the 13.8 Byrs refers to the age of the observable Universe and not the cosmos as a whole. Therefore my argument is that there was possible no BB but only expansion of the cosmos due to Dark Energy and if there is evidence that this is not true. | |
