The Turok-Hawking model

The Turok-Hawking model is a theoretical concept in cosmology that suggests the universe did not begin with a singular Big Bang but rather has a more complex origin. It proposes that the universe is like a balloon that expands and evolves from a "big bounce" rather than a traditional beginning. This model attempts to explain how our universe can emerge from a state without time, avoiding singularities. It combines ideas from quantum physics and general relativity, offering insights into the universe's creation and structure, ultimately aiming to provide a clearer understanding of cosmic beginnings.
