The Big Bounce is a theory that says our universe didn’t start from a singular Big Bang, but instead came from the collapse of a previous universe that "bounced" back into expansion.

Theory[]

  • A universe collapses due to gravity (Big Crunch).
  • Instead of a singularity (infinite density), quantum gravity effects stop the collapse.
  • The universe rebounds (bounces) and expands again, creating endless cycles of contraction and expansion.

Attractiveness of this theory[]

  • Avoids the infinite singularity problem
  • Fits with quantum gravity theories like Loop Quantum Gravity.
  • Suggests a cyclic universe instead of a one-time creation.
  • Might explain cosmic inflation and the structure of the universe.
