An Eternal Steady State Universe

Authors: Bill Porter

Some cosmological theories, such as many versions of eternal inflation and ΛCDM involve creation processes which continue indefinitely with no defined termination. Such processes can only occur in a temporally unbounded but finite universe. This requirement imposes serious constraints on many theories but the issue is often ignored. I propose an eternal steady state cosmological model in which past- or future-incomplete processes with no defined beginning or end are not permitted. Much well regarded theory is incompatible with this model; however there are viable alternatives.
