@Ta-Da,
Ta, very close to my own theory, for which there is negligible support. Yet as The Big Crunch sets in, the Universe of course grows smaller and smaller, and at the same time of course more massive. I'd guess there's a critical mass for the next Big Bang
The immediate q of course is, how big that mass. Incidentally you make ref to it as "the visible universe," and yet there's no sure reson to suppose there's anything outside it since it's obvious to many of us tht there simply
isn't an outside
At that instant all the rules could change, the idea of "zero," "dimension," and "mass" disappearing into a sort of nothingness, with implication that "nothing" is what's so unstable, that there simply can't be "nothing," in present sense
Or my notion complete nonsense
