Well done on reading Robot Voice Wheelchair man's ideas. If I do recall thats pretty much what he said way back when he first started this. I remember watching a documentary of his life and this was pretty much his theory that it would all collapse in on itself.
Also, L M A O. Solved the Big Bang Theory? You haven't solved shit. Even if this theory was your own, thats all it is, a theory. To "solve" the big bang theory you'd need to solve how the big bang started, how it all begun.

The other complication I factor into my view of this is little more than a speculation and is based on all the purely theoretical ideas of string theory and alternate dimensions. That each dimension is little more than a series of stretched out energy planes, and that a big bang could be a collision between two of them. The problem is that it's not even close to being observable, and nobody even knows if branes or alternate dimensions even exist, and there's no way to observe either of them. I think I read about the idea in a Hawking book a while ago, but it's certainly relevant. The thought of a bunch of p-branes drifting around in the bulk, then running into each other occasionally and producing all matter in a given universe is certainly an interesting concept.
Yeh boy. I carried out some research for my Physics project on String theory. Theres like a few floating around.

Although thats true, there are certain tests they can do when that big ass particle accelerator is built at CERN that can sort of validate string theory.
From what I can remember, the one theory of why the gravitational force is the weakest of the four known forces is that instead of staying on our plane/brane type thing, it dissapates onto other parallel dimensions and shit. And the thing were hoping to try and do is catch a glimpse of the moment the gravitational particle, called a graviton I think, passes through our little membrane into other dimensions. And I think they had some way of doing it, involving quarks and all sorts of crap.
If they can prove super symmetry as well, it'll provide more evidence of string theory.
I cant remember most of it to be honest, but you should check out these videos on string theory as they're jam packed with goodness and it is conveyed in an easy enough way to understand. The visuals help in a way a book might not, although the book would most likely be more theorough.
