Oh, yea, I wanna hear this.
I don't have the math to get anywhere near it, and for explanation will rely on just a 1D Mobius strip universe, much like they do the 2D rubber sheet demonstration of gravity.
Make a mobius strip, and create the big bang at a point on it...stuff starts shooting away from the point, along the single plane that is the strip...the strip is continuous, i.e. finite in "volume".
At the half life point, the two lines of matter are on opposite ends of the "known" universe, but right next to each other separated only by a membrane. (insert dark matter, and wormholes as ideas here).
At the 2/3 life point, the blackness of empty space beyond the expansion will change as the light of the big bang from the other arm should be starting to be invisible, and the two fronts should be attracting each other, and accelerating towards each other on the back end of the strip...only to meet at the point that they started on the other side of the membrane as a big crunch, ready for the big bang II, and III, IV etc.
I dunno...just a thought experiment.
Is it translatable into "3D" ? (see original disclaimer on the 2D rubber sheet gravity analogy).
Does gravity cross the membrane ?
