Clocks don't exist to synchronise anything. They can be part

Nobody said anything about creating it from nothing. The point
about
the theory is that it starts off with a large lump of
undifferentiated mass- energy that doesn't have any structure that
links it back to a preceding structure. The early stages of its
development seem to have been pretty well randomised, and if the
mechanism that created initial the lump of mass energy was merely
the
collapse of a previously existing universe we'd end up with
essential;ly the same theory.

There was this one fellow on sci.physics, a regular, years ago,
who had a similar sort of idea: to basically reflect that
after the Big Bang hypothesis made for Inflationary Cosmology
and Expanding Universe, to basically make "Growing Earth"
as "Balanced Bang", in this sense, the _idea_ itself is
not really different from other notions of "severe abstractions"
of "complementary duals", like for example Lagrange's "severe
abstraction" about energy and Lagrange's "complementary dual"
about potentials.

These days, since 2MASS made for an account of that redshift bias
exists, and, then that JWST has roundly paintcanned ye olde
"Expanding Universe", i.e. the entire idea that the data after
Lemaitre and Hubble gave is right out the window, then figuring
out _why_ and _how_ this can be explained, sort of has an inverse
to model or "complementary dual", as to why the idea itself of
something like "Growing Earth" isn't more odd than "Big Bang".

Hm. The 2MASS experiment was sort of in the time when it was
discovered that what much of astronomy had pointed at as the
"beginning", according to Doppler redshift, that it was actually
as of "LaniaKea", our local supercluster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laniakea_Supercluster

So, since the time of Lemaitre and Hubble (Big Bang theory),
it's agreeable that the available measurements saw a preponderance
of Doppler redshift in the sky. Yet, later, larger, and various
observatories, arrived at various things, including besides
that CMBR observed the universe is flat, then after taking
LaniaKea's jet into account, and besides, that instead of
99% redshift, the sky survey looks more like 51% redshift.

You may think that this is orthodoxy, but none of it seems to have made
it down to the New Scientist level of popular science.

These days that's considered with ideas like "redshift bias"
and "redshift distortion", about more effects involved that
lead to ideas like "tired light", about "redshift bias removal",
since otherwise according to the energy budget of the observable
universe, it's seven-sigmas or 99% "Dark Energy".

I'm sure that there's a lot of nut-case pseudoscience that plays with
these opinions, but again none of it seems to have made it down to the

So, various experiments with regards to various models point
to that "Expanding Universe", which makes for ideas like
"Growing Earth" to keep things balanced, instead have ideas
like "tired light", "Dark Energy", and here "redshift bias removal".

The Dark Matter / Dark Energy their posited existence is since
otherwise the usual premier theories are violated.
Now, these theories already have gravity always doing
work for free, which is a constant violation of
conservation of energy, the energy budget of the universe.
Gravity applies a force. That isn't doing work. The earth orbits the sun without doing much work at all. The consequent tidal forces inside the sun sap kinetic energy from the earth's orbital movement, in the same way that tides on earth are causing the moons orbit to change.
We can see that happening if we look very closely.
https://www.hummingbirdpc.com.au/as-it-slowly-drifts-away-from-earth-the-moon-is-changing-the-length-of-our-days-and-our-tides/Dark Matter and Dark Energy are un-observable by definition,
this un-falsifiable, thus not science, while the otherwise
premier theory has been falsified.
People have been looking for Dark Matter particles for decades now.
They seem to have a different definition from yours.
Dark energy was proposed as an explanation for the expansion of the universe, as observed by Hubble. It has been argued that Hubble misinterpreted what he saw, but few accept that argument.
"... as would require being theoretical _physicists_."
I don't even care what I say: only what's said.
So you aren't all that careful about what you say.
