I always had this theory that the universe would expand (big bang) and then somehow collapse to the infinite, then explode again to it’s limits, contract again etc. To me, that is God’s Heartbeat. Maybe I was right... now the scientists have to work out the fuzzy details...

How would it collapse though? From the brevity of my readings, the universe is accelerating.
Personally speaking, I like the idea of a collapse only to start all over again. The idea of "everything" speeding away from "everything" else and simply burning out and fading away into darkness is a bit, well, lonely.
But, the universe is what it is I suppose.
