The really interesting thing for me, about the Big Bang, whether we accept it or not, is information, not matter. Matter be hanged, information's the fascinating thing.
I have not rigorously studied information theory, so please correct me if you see something wrong. But isn't it true that information can't be created? If so, then whatever exploded in the Big Bang must have contained all the information which the Universe today contains.
Consider Kolmogorov_encoding. Just imagine the "ideal compression algorithm" applied to the Universe. Infinite or no, the "compressed form" or "information content" of the Universe must be less than the amount of matter, and if it was all really derived from the Big Bang, must also be finite. (Because of Kolmogorov encoding, the information content of the universe can be condensed to the information content of its smallest previous state plus the natural laws that allow it to be derived to its current state.)
So is the Universe a fractal, centered in time and space at the Big Bang? Just what was the information content in the Big Bang? If the Universe is a fractal, does it imply that there is a "mirror image" (or potentially many mirror images) of ourselves somewhere else in the Universe? Is the information content of the Universe finite? (My guess would be yes, but if not, that would spectacularly refute the Big Bang.) Can we even measure or hazard a guess as to the information content of the Universe? Does our knowledge of the information content of black holes shed any light on this matter?

Kolmogorov...Very interesting tie-in. I'd like to know if I can add this to my theoretical papers...
You bring up multiple dimensions. Good. Causeality...When something happens here, the other choices must be played out elsewhere... True, but not here. The Entropy of the universe would just go nuts. You have to go to strings for this.
Every object in the universe gives out a sound. If that sound is cancelled by itself, then it can't exist so to speak. Even though we would be x distance away, it would still affect us.
The arrow of time explains this also.
Information as part of the universal explination is a good thought, but, it would also show a pattern of pre-destination. A black hole would also be impossibe, due to the fact that it would contribute almost nothing to the information network. ( In the grand scheme of things)
Lastly, without the knowledge of a white hole, we can know nothing solid about a black hole. We need to see and observe the two parts to understand there role in the universe. Like, they are totally antisocial...
