This is an updated version of my paper "An outline of radiatively-driven cosmology" (Kurucz 2000). Here the Big Bang universe is replaced by a finite cellular automaton universe with no expansion (Kurucz 2006). The Big Bang is replaced by many little bangs spread throughout the universe that interact to produce the initial perturbations that form Population III stars, globular clusters, and galaxies, but no large-scale structure. These perturbations evolve into the universe as we now observe it. Evolution during the first billion years is controlled by radiation. Globular clusters are formed by radiatively-driven implosions, galaxies are formed by radiatively-triggered gravitational collapse of systems of globular clusters, and voids and the microwave background are formed by radiatively-driven expansion. After this period most of the strong radiation sources are exhausted and the universe relaxes into gravitational old age as we know it. To relieve the boredom we present the results of gedanken experiments (Kurucz 1992) in a traditional, linear, chronological sequence in the hope of stimulating research on the many topics considered.
