Was the Big Bang the Beginning Reimagining Time in a Cyclic Universe

A universe that continually expands has long been the dominant cosmological framework. But a universe that undergoes cycles of expansion and contraction, perhaps for all time, has recently been analyzed mathematically, and its proponents claim that it provides a more convincing cosmological paradigm. Join leaders of this renegade approach as they make the case for a new kind of cosmology that reimagines time. The Big Ideas Series is supported in part by the John Templeton Foundation.
