Testing the Big Bang

[late]

Will the Big Bang turn out to be a big fart?

"If it (oscillations that resulted from the Big Bang) does exist, the signal would appear in density variations across the universe...

“What we showed,” Loeb explained, is that from the form of these oscillations, “you can tell if the universe was expanding or contracting when the density perturbations were produced”—reflecting an inflationary or bounce cosmology, respectively."

Being that there are limits to what we can actually observe, I think this question will be asked again a thousand years from now.


Einstein suggested the possibility of a cyclical universe, but that is being debunked according to who's work you read.
