You are talking about Penrose now and it is a nice coincidence that I wrote about him yesterday here :

I though I saw your avatar before and we have indeed crossed paths before and seem to be on the same cosmological discovery. You seem very pragmatic in your comments. How has your research on a non-big bang origin developing? Seems I have some catching up to do on Penrose - what are your initial thoughts?
Yes we had a nice exchange five or six days ago in your post :
Beyond the Darkness - Dark Matter: A Baseless Hypothesis?
I am not a physicist and I don't work in this field. I just read since many years and I made my mind about what was going to be successful and what was not.
My best prediction so far was that JWST was going to see the same type of galaxies very far away as those in the local universe. (at least partially verified) I made that same prediction when Hubble telescope was put into orbit. Back then physicist started doubting their theories.
I was most impressed by a single fact of physics ...
...that all energy in ordinary matter is equal to the negative potential gravitational energy of that matter. Because of this I am scanning all I read for clues for a mechanism where matter could be created from gravitational field ...something like Hawking radiation. For the same reason I am also looking for evidence that the universe could stand for a much longer time since the CMB. This would be the case for a universe that would be exponentially expanding. Suppose the accelerating rate of expansion double each 10 billion years or so. Then, if you go in the past every 10 billion years the rate of expansion is smaller and smaller exponentially decreasing and the universe is extremely old.I have so many more ideas but I don't want to make a wall of text.
Observably and experimentally, it's so hard to test powerful gravity fields. But theoretically, if we could confine and increase a portion of matter into a far more dense state, we should be able to create increased gravity - I think that's possible, but it would take insane energy and you'd have to control it to a point that it doesn't turn into a giant explosion; seems very probable and should be conducted in space...just to be safe.
But, is your thinking that if we have a net zero energy universe, it should not have a big bang, or just that a net zero may have originated differently from a big bang? I'm just curious.
if we find a mechanism that continually creates matter in the universe we don't need a big bang. Creation of matter and gravity fields, (net zero) could somehow increase the expansion of the universe. 3d interference pattern of gravitational waves would create
rogue wavesat specific points in SpaceTime that would create matter and the CMB.Oops ! I just defined a new cosmological model 😄 !
I might be missing something, but how would this new model reproduce the CMB? The cosmic microwave background is a black body spectrum with an extremely uniform temperature in all directions. The localized fluctuations in temperature are only a very small shift to the average.
Interesting idea. And the so-called "Dark Energy" also results from the rogue waves or perhaps another process?

I had to rebuild completely my post (questions and answer) from other users also, because some moderator, at "ShowerThoughts", deleted the post while it was in progress.
shower thoughts at lemmy.world, so :
https://lemmy.world/post/3425772You might be interested in Dirac large numbers hypothesis, where the mass of the universe depends on the age of the universe. That kind of would be a hint for matter being continually created.
