(urth) Science catches up to the New Sun

It could be contracting now if time ran backwards....

>>I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this theory has been bandied

>>The researchers have found that when applying LQC, the universe does not
>>revert back to a singularity as it contracts. Instead of seeing a big
>> bang,
>>the models indicate that the universe experienced a big bounce, with a
>>predecessor universe contracting as it ended and then reemerging as our
>> new,
>>expanding universe. If the theory proves correct, it could mean that our
>>universe does not have a finite beginning and end but is, instead, part
