Interesting, but the theory needs testing in practice.
The article says that we need "exotic matter" to make the time machine work, but this has not been discovered. So this time machine is probably not a feasible test for our current gravitational theory.
Moffat ("Reinventing Gravity") hoped future instruments to test gravitational waves will provide evidence of what the universe was like closer to the big bang. That would test Einstein's gravitational theory as well his own modified gravitational theory.

Interesting images of Jupiter regarding the study of its atmosphere shot by Juno mission. On the news today

A couple of good articles:

There is a considerable evidence to support the Big Bang hence is called a theory and not a hypothesis. Theories can be adjusted but are generally well supported like the theory of evolution. Hypotheses are attempts to explain the facts.
Karl Popper developed the concept of falsifiability and if a hypothesis cannot be falsified it can not be held to be scientific.
This isn't about the Big Bang, but about explaining the variability of the changing appearance of Tabby's Star:
"This explanation not only offers an entirely natural account of what could be causing the star to dim, but also offers a prediction that (if true) would confirm their theory."
Or are we not talking about the same thing?
A theory is well founded unlike a hypothesis which is an attempt to explain the facts.Originally Posted by Dreamwoven
The Big Bang is widely accepted and fits the bill just as the theory of evolution.
Karl Popper has put forward the falsification test for scientific hypothesis if it cannot be falsified it is not scientific. Freud's hypothesis of the ego superego and id is such an unfalsifiable type. Popper points out that because a hypothesis cannot be falsified does not mean it is not useful.
Yes, I think we are not at odds on this point at all.
I don't publish a post every day, only if there is interesting news that catches my attention.

Great images of Juno's close pass of Jupiter! Thanks tailor.
I agree with you, but just now there are some about Tabby and Jupiter.

I enjoyed this sequence of pics very much.

There is a post today on fusion as a future source of energy. Bit technical, perhaps, but China, US and Europe are all working on it: https://www.universetoday.com/135753...ing-power-sun/
