I have an alternative theory to the big bang and the beginning of the universe.

Bear with me here.

I put it to you that the universe did not explode outward from a tiny point - propelled by some inexplicable force. Is it possible that the universe was, in fact, the result of a massive three dimensional tear?

Say, for instance, you stretch out a sheet of black nylon fabric really taught - and then stab it in the center with a scalpel - what happens? the material bursts outward from the middle in every direction, increasing in speed as it goes. It might even leave some particles of detritus behind as it goes.

Now, imagine that happening three dimensionally and on a universal scale.

Is it possible that what we now call the "bang" was in fact the explosive retraction of material being wrenched apart under enormous tension from some outside force?

That we all now survive amongst the gases and dust left behind by the enormous splitting of the fabric outside our realm?

I'm fairly sure there are reasons why this cannot be the case, but i'm not aware of them.
