Yeah I jumped the gun a little. My bad.
I know every person in the field does not believe the same thing. Even as I typed "every", I was thinking of a documentary involving the constant C changing over the course of the expansion of the universe.
In some way perhaps the universe is infinite. If it recycles, then the forces involved would most likely remain familiar. Gravity, electromagnetism, various molecular forces, etc. have no reason to deviate, especially if when a black hole spews matter at it's collapse, the resulting energy and mass behave as everything else. Some things could deviate though, in some minor way with profound results.
I don't know. The more I think about it, the more I argue with myself. Arguing with yourself can get boring real fast.
