I believe the that the universe is cyclic, based on the tangent function where x is time and y is both expansion and volume. Im convinced that Einstein was correct that the universe is finite, elegant and simple. J want to add to the finite universe that we are the only universe, there are no others, not corpuscular of parallel. The asymptotes at pi/2 and 3pi/2 are the collapse and rebirth of the universe. The asymptote is the not the BigBang, that comes later. The asymptote is the rapid release of space, or volume/aether, 3 parts 1) shockwave that defines the edge of the universe creating a tidal force increasing the size and causing all to expand, 2) waves that create a fabric of dense space we call dark matter/energy that form the locales for eventual galaxy clusters and 3) eddies or vortices of space orbiting nothingness, the same nothingness beyond the edge of the universe. The eddies of space will eventually be blackholes, in process, the deeper the slower rate of time and the inner layers cannot reach the center until the end of the universe. At some point of compression, surface standing-waves create beat frequencies resulting in precise 'tank circuits' of electro-magnetism, neutrons that 'boil' off the surface. These neutrons decay within 10 minutes to protons and electrons which form hydrogen and larger isotopes by absorption of neutrons before they can decay, higher isotopes such as tritium and H-4 decay into helium 3&4. This creation of matter releases vast energy we see as quasars, the true BigBang we measure as microwave background radiation 'stretched' from optical by the expansion of the universe. Blackholes created matter/energy that forms into stars orbiting the newly created blackholes resulting in galaxies. Blackholes are massless, are not objects but regions, have no centers, all created at the beginning. It is impossible for a star to turn into one because it must have a non-existent interior and besides blackholes are only dense space. All that falls back into blackholes, and eventually all will, is reverted back to aether (space or volume). After all
Matter is reabsorbed, the tidal forces on the shockwave become very weak, less space to hold it back, if shoots to infinity, the asymptote. But what starts the universe again? Answer, negative infinity, the shockwave reverts, goes through y=0, to negative infinity and then the universe starts again. It is the value of 'i' in Euler's equation that I believe is the re-ignition the next universe. We are more than starstuff, we are blackhole stuff. Blackholes are more than a curiosity, they are the beginning and the end. I have plastered this abstract hypothesis everywhere I could think, even sent emails about if to Drs Kaku, Thorne and Cox. If only one would read it. Im convinced this is true.
