| dc.description.abstract | This review highlights some of the cosmological theories proposed as alternatives to the standard hot big bang model. Specific ideas discussed here are the matter-antimatter symmetric cosmologies, the empirical two-component model, the G-varying cosmologies, the chronometric cosmology and a simplified quantum cosmology. It is argued that many alternative cosmologies have contributed useful concepts and offered observational tests that have enriched the field of cosmology as a science. | en_US |
