On the Issue of Views on the Universe and the Problems of the Big Bang

A brief analysis of the fundamental problems of cosmology, the essence of space and time, and their relationship with matter is given. In the proposed concept, the main provisions are based on the understanding of matter as the only reality of what exists, including what has not yet been known. Matter is characterized by its sharp physical heterogeneity in the volume of Space and continuous development over Time. Spacetime is considered as an active medium. It plays the role of the basis of the functional connection between all natural objects. Cosmological models and the phenomenon of the “Big Bang” are discussed within the framework of ontological problems of Being.
