I don't know what you mean by "origin".

Then you are basically giving up on understanding this stuff.
That's fine, you don't need to understand it, it's not relevant
to most people's lives. But don't start saying what's wrong with
the Big Bang model when you don't even understand it. If you
can't understand the simplified case of a Big Bang with 1 spatial
dimension and 1 time dimension, then you certainly can't understand
the more complex case of 3 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension.

That sentence makes no sense to me. What does "temporal metric"
mean? What does "spatial metric" mean. What does "coincidence" mean?
What does "diametric opposition" mean?
Once again, can you try to explain what you mean in the simpler
case of 1D space and 1D time?
