A Big Bang Misconception

The only misconception is what existed before the big bang. It is a misconception and a leap of faith to assume that the event that triggered the expansion that we see all around us in all directions did not have some initial velocity within its own relative frame of reference and that it therefore did not come into expansion within a larger pocket of space/time. All we see is that which is relative to us and within the realm of our current scientific precision. We perceive our space time and all that we are capable of detecting both inwards and outwards with such a closed mind. Think about it, think about the number of stars in our known universe yet a very large percentage of our population has doubts as to whether there is life on other planets. The same reasons that make so many relatively intelligent people question the certainty that there exists other habitable planets with life on them in our known universe is the same set of reasons that our science has been unable to propose the likely hood that our known universe, our pocket of space/time is one of an infinite number of such pockets of space/time or POSTs that have existed for an infinite length of time and will continue to do so.
