So immagine that the universe was a full stop. It wouldn't suddenly explode outwards and become a spherical shape, but rather a cone -- the universe expanding from a single point.

That's interesting... You may or may not be right, I'm not sure. I would guess though, that if this infinitely small thing were equally strong all around its surface then it would break in all places at once. Normally when something, e.g. a water balloon, bursts, it either bursts from impact outside on one spot, or from one spot being weaker, and I'm realising even as I'm typing this that my water balloon analogy was terrible, but never mind, I'm sure you get the idea.

Having laboriously read through your theory -- I am increasingly aware of my lack of a phD in some kind of physics. And unless you, too have one -- I see no reason to believe that any of your theories are backed by anything more than thought. And however commendable that is -- teams of people who have spent their lives working off the backs of other people who spent their lives, continuing on a study that has taken thousand of years -- have the opposite view.

Well firstly, thank you for reading my theory. It is backed up by thought, largely, but I have taken into account all of the evidence of which I am aware, and brought myself to the most reasonable conclusion I can. I do not have a phD in any kind of physics, but let me ask, do those who have come up with the Big Bang theory have a phD in common sense?
I have been brought up to trust myself more than I trust most others. While I am not saying these astrophysicists are untrustworthy, what I am saying is that if what they say conflicts with my own common sense, and I can look at everything they say, understand it, but see gaping flaws, and a more likely conclsion from their evidence, it is my conclusion which I will trust, until I see further evidence.

Well to me, time moves forward because it is the only logical thing for it to do. Well. actually no. We move through time I think... or I don't know. Interesting idea though.

Excellent work by the way OP (opening poster). You seem to have spent a good deal of time composing your theory and wording your post. And also, the spoiler usage was interesting and noble.

Thanks. I did spend a lot of time composing the theory (three years, actually), and it has only been recently that I have managed to phrase it. I struggled, when posting before, on the other threads. A lot of it was nonsensical simply by virtue of appalling phrasing. I could understand it, but not get it straight enough in my head to explain to others. I resorted to crude, and often confusing, MS Paint drawings, which didn't seem to help much.
