The Big Crunch

New theory of the evolution of the cosmos! The Big Crunch predicts that space is ... are you feeling all right? ... made up of "spacetime atoms." When in open space, they're undetectable, but when ... hey, wake up ... there is a lot of energy in a small area, they repel each other, like a sponge that has too much water repels more water. No, stay awake, you need to hear this! This means that when gravity causes the universe to contract, nearing a big bang, and there is a high amount of energy in a small area, this repulsion limits hwo far space can contract. This means that the big bang would not be a singularity - no space between matter, like inside a black hole. Wake up! Space contracts, but only so much as to create a "bounce" into a new big bang. Do you need coffee? Everything just gets "crunched" together, in an endless cycle of expansion and contraction. Ok, you can press play now.
