In most astrophysical publications, the Big Bang is implicitly accepted and is used as the basis of more complete theories. Quasi-steady state cosmology (QSS) was proposed in 1993 by Fred Hoyle, Geoffrey Burbidge, and Jayant V.

The model suggests pockets of creation occurring over time within the universe, sometimes referred to as "minibangs," "mini-creation
