A Solution to the Horizon Problem: A Delayed Big-Bang Singularity
arXiv:astro-ph/9809134 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(98)00617-3
Abstract
One of the main drawbacks of standard cosmology, known as the horizon problem, was until now thought to be only solvable in an inflationary scenario. A delayed Big-Bang in an inhomogeneous universe is shown to solve this problem while leaving unimpaired the main successful features of the standard model.
