- TL;DR Summary
- The Big Bounce theory has seen a resurgence in light of the Plank evidence of a closed universe. Which type of cyclic universe would it most likely point to?
As you all know:
Planck evidence for a closed Universe and a possible crisis for cosmology

If confirmed, it would bring back the Big Bounce as a possible hypothesis for the evolution of the universe. This has long-term consequences being that the Big Bounce results in cyclic Big Bangs, since the expansion of the universe is not permanently accelerating, as once thought.
What I'm curious about is, which model would best fit the model - eternal return or differentiated Bing Bangs? That is to say same histories or different?
Here is some overview of the Big Bounce hypothesis.
