You're confusing physics with religion, again (you seem to do that a lot).The part of standard BB theory where the 'woo' seems to reach it's zenith, is right at the beginning where none of you really want to go, or care to go. It's a scary place.The mainstream theory is in fact a "creation event" where all the energy and matter of the universe originates from a single "clump". I've seen *PLENTY* of claims that the whole thing was around the size of a single atom.
LCDM models have well-defined domains of applicability; the Planck regime is outside any such domain of applicability.
If you're looking for physics theories/models/whatever that include the Planck regime in their domains of applicability, you need to turn to something like LQG or string theory.
Oh, and, once again, you have not put the effort in to try to understand the difference between popularisations and the models themselves.
Depending on which model you're considering, the initial conditions are nearly always well before BBN, but the details of baryogenesis and, even more, leptogenesis (the symmetry breaking(s) which resulted in baryons and leptons, respectively) are rather uncertain.Now of course you would all love to disown this part of the "creation mythology", and ignore the implications of starting with nothing but light elements and a "hot" starting point.
I have no idea what a ""pretend" force" is, but I doubt that LCDM models contain any (perhaps you'd care to take my advice, and define every term you use double quotes for?).Unfortunately however you are stuck with the implications of your own theory.
What makes your theory almost impossible to "falsify" is the fact it's all built on "pretend" forces of nature from the very start,
Don't be silly, of course they do.none of which enjoy any sort of empirical support in a lab.
The thing they do not enjoy is "empirical" support in the lab, which is a mysterious, magical beast that no one - except possibly you - have ever seen, or even understands (perhaps you'd care to take my advice, and define this term?).
Having seen how epic your fail was, and no doubt still is, on the Casimir effect, you'll understand, I'm sure, why I'm going to ask you what you mean by ""hypothetical"" and ""inflation""; otherwise this sentence makes no sense.It's all "hypothetical" stuff, starting with Guth's negative pressure vacuum and "inflation".
Which is, to repeat, to misunderstand what physics is, today.Since none of your claims can be verified in a lab,
It's a bit like saying that a theory in biology is woo because it cannot deliver €1 billion to my bank account tomorrow ("none of your claims can be verified by delivery of €1 billion to my bank account tomorrow")
Don't be silly; lots of other JREF members have already given you examples of what might falsify any particular LCDM model, from the polarisation of the CMB, to the details of the ISW (Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect), to inconsistencies between the acoustic peaks in the CMB angular power spectrum and observations of BAO (baryon acoustic oscillations), to inconsistencies between angular distance estimates (via the SZE - Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect - perhaps) and luminosity distance estimates (via SN1a's perhaps), to inconsistencies to do with stochastic primordial GWR (gravitational wave radiation), to ...about the only thing we can ever hope to verify or falsify is your notion of "evolution" of galaxies.
(I'll hazard a guess that you've likely not heard of many of these, and do not understand any of them at all).
What are galaxies made of?Even on that issue you seem to want to have your cake and eat it too. You don't really seem willing to commit to any particular timeline. You don't seem to know when galaxies became "mature". You're trying to leave as much wiggle room as possible even on that issue!
Stars, supermassive black holes (except, perhaps, in some dwarf galaxies), CDM halos, gas and dust.
How are they structured, and how do the components interact?
In extremely complex ways; for example, the gas and dust which forms the interstellar medium has at least four distinct phases.
What's the starting point?
The almost entirely homogeneous and isotropic soup of protons, electrons, helium atoms (and some helium ions), lithium-7 ions, blackbody photons, and CDM, at z ~1100.
How did the incredibly complex systems of objects which are galaxies form out of that?
No one knows, and models on galaxy formation are very poorly constrained by observational results.
Etc.
I think every substantive part of this has already been addressed, so there's no need for me to say more, is there?The basic problem with your theory is that defies any sort of empirical support and it's completely unfalsifiable based on the laws of physics as we understand them. You've literally created a "make believe" world based on three different forms of metaphysics. In that imaginary universe *anything* can happen. Massive objects can somehow "expand" away from each other at faster than the speed of light. Galaxies can form instantly and become "mature" is the earliest era's of the universe. No specific prediction actually allows us to falsify anything related to your theory. That's really what makes it "woo". There's no logical foundation for any of it, and no logical way to falsify any of it's three main metaphysical components. Even when the "Dark matter" thing goes down in flames in the lab, you ignore that finding entirely! This is certainly the single most "faith based" brand "science" known to man. Not a single part of it can be falsified or verified in any logical manner that isn't ultimately based on a completely circular argument.
