-==Abstract==
+'''Infinite Universe Theory''' ('''IUT''') is the cosmology developed by [[Glenn Borchardt]] as the alternative to the Big Bang. It is the cosmological application of [[Neomechanics|neomechanics]] and of Borchardt's ''Ten Assumptions of Science'', and it holds that the universe is infinite and eternal in both the microscopic and macroscopic directions, has no origin, no edge and no age, and is therefore not a proper subject for cosmogony at all.
-The inevitable rejection of the Big Bang Theory (BBT) will lead to a more enlightened and more logical theory, but what will it be? The BBT will be replaced by the Infinite Universe Theory (IUT). It will produce the greatest revolution in science since Copernicus. A change of this magnitude will not come easily, probably not for decades, but it will come. The outlines of IUT can be seen by examining the logical defects of the BBT. A side-by-side comparison of the two theories not only shows the logical superiority of IUT, but it points the way to fertile fields of research and experimentation while rejecting still others. Among the predictions of IUT: time is motion; there is an ether; light is wave motion; the galactic redshift is due primarily to absorption; gravity involves a push, not a pull; there is a complement to the Second Law of Thermodynamics; light bending near massive bodies is refraction due to a dense etherosphere; galactic ages will not correlate with distance from Earth; the universe is Euclidean and not expanding; empty space and solid matter are ideas, not reality; matter has only three dimensions. Among the illegitimate pursuits: cosmogony, non-Euclidean mathematics; unification of physics via a single equation; objectification of time; and energy viewed as matterless motion. Welcome to the infinite universe!<br />
+The name belongs to both a theory and a book: Borchardt first set the position out in a 2007 paper for the Proceedings of the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]], and expanded it into the book ''Infinite Universe Theory'' in 2017.
