sure!

Electric Universe (Thornhill, Birkeland, Scott, et al)

Plasma Cosmology (Alfven, Lerner, et al)

Infinite Universe Theory (Borchardt)

Recycling Universe Cosmology (Mitchell)

Subquantum Kinetics (La Violette)

Modern Mechanics (Bryant)

Push Gravity: (various, book: Pushing Gravity)

The Static Universe (Ratcliffe)

Steady State Universe (Hoyle, older)

That's a good start at least. ;-)

All of the above have one or more books written about them.

An infinite Universe makes the most sense, let's adopt that

> An infinite Universe makes the most sense, let's adopt that

Why would human intuition about what makes sense have any impact on physical reality?

[AnimalMuppet]

Reality does not care what makes sense to you. Let's find out what's true and adopt that.

yes, personally I believe that pure logic alone can bring one to believe in an infinite, fractal, eternal universe.

In other words, there is no smallest or largest.

There was never any beginning nor will there ever be an end. (If there was a beginning, what caused it?)

There is no outer boundary, limit, or end to the universe. If there were, beyond it would have to be "nothing". How can "nothing" exist, and what would be the border between "something" and "nothing"?

There is no "time", only matter in motion.

Matter is always divisible into something smaller, and composeable into something larger.

Matter in motion at scale n is perceived as a "force" at scales > n.

anyway, fun to think about!

Anyway, Borchardt's book/theory is pretty good.

A bit different than what I've always thought about as my personal infinite universe theory, but good food for thought and he makes the math work. Definitely worth the read!
