NON-SINGULAR MATTER BOUNCING COSMOLOGY

A new fringe theory called "non-singular matter bouncing cosmology" proposes that the universe is not a one-time event, but rather "reboots" itself by cycling between a hot, dense state like the Big Bang and a colder, expansive phase, essentially bouncing back and forth, meaning the universe we see today could be a recycled version of a previous universe. Unlike the standard Big Bang model, the theory suggests that instead of ending in a singularity, the universe reaches a point where it "bounces" back to a hot dense state, initiating a new cycle. This theory could potentially address some cosmological puzzles like the flatness problem and the nature of dark matter. In a way, according to the theory, the universe today is a recycle from a previous universe. Currently there is no strong observational evidence to support the non-singular matter bouncing cosmology theory, making it a fringe idea within cosmology. Developing a robust model that explains the bounce mechanism without violating fundamental physical laws remains a challenge.
