You're being a tad disingenuous that scientists are reeling over a big hoax.
"Now, three scientists have come up with an alternative theory. In their theory, the universe may have existed all along, perhaps with no "beginning" as dramatic as a Big Bang.
Saurya Das, professor of physics at University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, was fascinated by the Raychaudhuri equation (RE), which is an important step in deriving the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. The equation is attributed to Amal K Raychaudhuri who used to teach at Presidency College, Kolkata. When it is treated in a classical formalism, the equation leads to the singularity. But the singularity vanishes when the particles are treated as quantum particles and the fields are treated as classical. This leads to a solution which is the everlasting universe which was not born in a Big Bang. This was work published by Dr. Das in Physical Review D."
Both are theories. Which is correct? No idea
