I like two ideas so far. One is the universe contracting to the point of maximum density then exploding outward. The big bang. This could happen n times.
If this universe is expanding, then something has to be contracting at the same rate. Nature abhors a vacum.
So somewhere something is contracting towards it's own big bang. Similar to the cylinders in a diesel engine...
But this doesn't answer the question of where the energy and matter came from. Just a nice hypothesis for what is happening not what has happened.
Idea two says that the universe is like a pond where a pebble was tossed in. The rings spread outward at varying speeds and eventually overlap until the energy of the stone is dispersed across the body of water or another stone is thrown in to infuse more energy and mass to the system.
Now that I think of it...and I'm sorry if I'm rambling but this is thought provoking.
Picture a balloon being inflated. Now with the thickness of the rubber or latex not being even, there are stronger and weaker sections. Eventually a weak spot will breach allowing all the pent up air and energy out in one big explosion. Filling the balloon will occur at different rates of speed and I'm faltering sorry.
If someone else can pick up the balloon and run with it please...
