  Given there has been something where a big-bang origin of our evolutionary
cosmos took place: What is the relativistic line element describing the energy
density and pressure of such a pre-existing universal background? The simplest
conceivable ansatz leads to a Stationary-Universe Model (SUM), which instead of
the 'Steady-state Theory' is shown to be an arguable alternative to the
Cosmological Concordance Model (CCM) commonly accepted today. The SUM stands
out with redshift values statistically independent of time; a significant
Hubble parameter is proved in contrast to the conventional one. It requires a
negative gravitational 'dark' pressure of -1/3 the critical density. Intrinsic
limitations of proper length and time are derived, which cause a struggle of
local SRT (quantum mechanics) and universal GRT (gravitation). Using one
macroscopic constant H in addition to c and G only, the model describes a
background free of coincidences or horizon problems. While the CCM's key
parameter Omega_Lambda seems determined by SUM 'boundary' conditions, there is
a chance of having already observed parts of a stationary universe: With no
need for 'dark energy', this alternative explains straightforwardly the SNe-Ia
data on universal scales. In addition to its currently assumed parts, a
non-lensing homogeneous background of matter might fill the gap to critical
density. A mathematical solution for a perfect black-body spectrum composed of
redshifted microwave radiation emitted from 'dark' sources within the universe
is derived; thus the CMB might exist as a special part of the extragalactic
background light. Given the law of entropy restricted to evolutionary
processes, an open concept is revealed to imply a 'chaotic' quasi-inflation
background, embedding 'local-bang' cosmoses therein. - The SUM is shown to be
the only arguable solution of Einstein's original equations without
cosmological constant.
