A non-standard cosmology is a cosmological framework that fundamentally contradicts one of the basic aspects of the big bang model of physical cosmology. These are:

• that the universe is expanding,
• that the universe emerged, in the past, from a hot, dense state
• the cosmological principle, that the universe is roughly homogeneous and isotropic, and that we are not observing it from a preferred locale

This contrasts to cosmological models which differ from standard Lambda-CDM model, by modifying detailed features of it (such as the nature of dark energy) or by supplementing the Big Bang model with a first cause (like the cyclic model).
