  The standard model of cosmology posits that some time in the remote past,
labelled as t=0, a Big-Bang occurred. However, it does not tell what caused the
Big-Bang and subsequently the Inflation. In the present work the cause of the
Big-Bang and Inflation is suggested on the basis of the hints provided by the
experimental findings at CERN and RHIC. The model used is singularity free
Newtonian, i.e., non-relativistic, oscillatory model of the universe in which
the "space" does not expand whereas all the relativistic cosmological models of
the universe including the standard model, except the now discredited
Einstein's static model, imply that apart from the matter and the radiation in
the universe the "space" is also expanding. However, there is no observational
evidence whatsoever of the expansion of the "space" and as such, in all
probability, the "space" is not at all expanding. A critique of the singularity
theorems is also given on the basis of the experimental findings at CERN and
RHIC and it is emphasized that no gravitationally collapsing object can
collapse to a singularity, if it does, the time honoured Pauli's exclusion
principle would be violated.
