  2. Cyclic model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model

    A cyclic model (or oscillating model) is any of several cosmological models in which the universe follows infinite, or indefinite, self-sustaining cycles. For example, the oscillating universe theory briefly considered by Albert Einstein in 1930 theorized a universe following an eternal series of oscillations, each beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Crunch; in the interim, the ...

  3. Conformal cyclic cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

    Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. [1] [2] [3] In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang ...

  4. Cycles of Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_of_Time

    Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe is a science book by mathematical physicist Roger Penrose published by The Bodley Head in 2010. The book outlines Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) model, which is an extension of general relativity but opposed to the widely supported multidimensional string theories and cosmological inflation following the Big Bang.

  5. Ekpyrotic universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekpyrotic_universe

    The ekpyrotic universe (/ ˌ ɛ k p aɪ ˈ r ɒ t ɪ k /) [1] is a cosmological model of the early universe that explains the origin of the large-scale structure of the cosmos.The model has also been incorporated in the cyclic universe theory (or ekpyrotic cyclic universe theory), which proposes a complete cosmological history, both the past and future.

  6. Big Bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce

    The Big Bounce hypothesis is a cosmological model for the origin of the known universe.It was originally suggested as a phase of the cyclic model or oscillatory universe interpretation of the Big Bang, where the first cosmological event was the result of the collapse of a previous universe.

  9. Multiverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse

    This repeated contact gives rise to multiple or "cyclic" Big Bangs. This particular hypothesis falls under the string theory umbrella as it requires extra spatial dimensions. Cosmos animation of a cyclic universe Cyclic The cyclic multiverse has multiple branes that have collided, causing Big Bangs. The universes bounce back and pass through ...
