The big bang theory claims that the universe started with an explosion but we cannot
liken it to an ordinary explosion because matter is not distributed in space in
such a way for it to be so. In an ordinary explosion we would be able to see the
edges of the universe beyond which no matter had yet reached and possibly a bare
centre after matter had stopped being created.
It is claimed that galaxies are not actually moving away from each other because
that would imply that relativity is wrong so instead it claims that space itself
is expanding. If space expanded uniformly then the space within galaxies and between
atoms would also expand and because our measuring devises expanded at the same rate
it would be impossible to observe any expansion anywhere in the universe. So, conveniently
it is claimed that only the space between galaxies expands and that the gravity
associated with mass prevents space from expanding within galaxies.
General relativity claims that time and space are intimately linked and that the
presence of matter distorts space/time so that gravity is not a real force. Instead
we are expected to believe that when our planet orbits the Sun it is moving in a
straight line through distorted space.
Here upon the Earth we are aware of only three spatial dimensions and a completely
separate dimension of time. I find that all of the assumptions about space expanding
and bending back upon itself to be far worse errors of judgement than those that
still believe the Earth to be flat.
Some day, people will look back at the twentieth century and wonder how scientists
could have got everything so wrong.
For example, why is it that in the first moments of the big bang when matter had
just conveniently popped into existence and was so tightly packed together that
even light could not escape from it, space still managed to expand despite gravity
at that time being so highly concentrated that it was far stronger than occurs in
any star or galaxy that exists today.

FET defines space as being infinite in extent and therefore
has no boundaries. Because energy is assumed to be a real and continuous substance
it fills all of space with no voids. It even predicts the energy density of space
to be a minimum of 2x1015eV.m-3 with regions of higher energy
density where particles and radiation are present.
All forces arise from the flow of energy and with strengths proportional to their
flow rates.
At no time does FET require that more than the three observable
spatial dimensions exist with no tying to time.
There is therefore no need to propose that space bends back upon itself or has any
other strange properties.
