No beginning and no end?

I’m getting some scientific support for my personal view that ours is just one more in an infinite number of universes, or universe iterations.  I.e., which translates into “there has always been something rather than nothing.”

I saw this on another blog:

Excerpt:

That theory, which textbooks call inflation, matches all observations to date and is preferred by most cosmologists. But it has conceptual implications that some find disturbing. In most regions of space-time, the rapid expansion would never stop. As a consequence, inflation can’t help but produce a multiverse — a technicolor existence with an infinite variety of pocket universes, one of which we call home. To critics, inflation predicts everything, which means it ultimately predicts nothing. “Inflation doesn’t work as it was intended to work,” said Paul Steinhardt, an architect of inflation who has become one of its most prominent critics.

In recent years, Steinhardt and others have been developing a different story of how our universe came to be. They have revived the idea of a cyclical universe: one that periodically grows and contracts.  They hope to replicate the universe that we see — flat and smooth — without the baggage that comes with a bang.

So, what do you prefer?  [Waiter standing with towel over arm, ready to take your order]

Door #1: Same universe but another iteration (tweaked).

Door #2: Multi universes, and all at the same time.

Door #3: One universe, Big Bang oriented.  That’s it.  Turn out the lights and lock up.

The elusive Door #4: Other (“God did it” … “I really don’t care, I have enough to think about” … “STFU” … Other “other”😉)
