Imagine, you have something like this back in 1900.

Do you remember how settled was that the Universe is slowing down at its expansion? The only thing wasn't settled was the slowing rate - is it big enough to stop one day and reverse. 20 years ago.

Just now, they discuss Big Bang. Settled long ago.

I am not saying your idea isn't good. It is, but the controversy is imminent.
