I've read the links. However I don't see how they are at odds with the
concept of my third option.


Did you like the ideas -do they make sense?


They look like incomplete theories that are designed to plug holes in
other theories.

Some of the argument is *very* weak. Take the following :-

"If the vacuum is trying to pull the piston back into the cylinder, it
must have a negative pressure, since a positive pressure would tend to
push the piston out. "

That is just plain nonsense! The piston is being *pushed* into the
clyinder.




3) It was created in a single event which resulted in equal amounts of


"matter" and "anti-matter".



Do you think that there is a fourth option?


Yes, dark matter too. Maybe even anti-dark matter but I don't know if
that is in any way required by a coherent cosmology.

I don't have a problem with the concept of dark matter. It still fits
in with my third option.
