Also: source of discrediting of standard big bang model? As far as I know, no way of getting empirical evidence for “cyclic universes” has been thought of.



The Big Bounce model doesn’t discredit the BBT, it offers possibilities for existences before the Big Bang. It’s just one of many other postulations.

Loop quantum gravity presents the Big Bounce as one alternative to the spacetime singularity that accompanies the Big Bang. Far from empirical, but this is where the idea stemmed.
