    Pulsating Theory

    The pulsating universe theory proposes that the universe follows cycles of expansion and contraction. According to the theory, after the universe expands for a period of time, gravitational forces will cause it to stop expanding and begin contracting. This contraction will continue until all matter is compressed into a gravitational singularity, at which point another big bang will occur, restarting the cycle of expansion and contraction. The theory was proposed as a potential solution to issues with other cosmological models, but it conflicts with thermodynamics and is not the currently accepted model of the universe.

    What is the

    pulsating
    universe theory?
     The Pulsating Universe Theory
    says that the universe follows
    self-sustaining cycles such as
    expanding and contrasting.
    The theory also states that after
    the universe has contracted to
    a certain size, explosions will
    occur and the universe will
    start expanding.
    Pulsating Theory is a theory
    that explains the peculiar
    features of such stars as the
    Cepheid variables by
    assuming an expansion and
    contraction of the star as a
    {
    whole in a regular periodic
    pulsation

    ~According to Merriam Webster Dictionary


     According to this theory, the universe is
    supposed to be expanding and contracting
    alternately i.e. pulsating. At present, the
    universe is expanding. According to pulsating
    theory, it is possible that at a certain time, the
    expansion of the universe may be ‘topped by
    the gravitational pull and the may contract
    again. After it has been contracted to a certain
    size, explosion again occurs and the universe
    will start expanding. The alternate expansion
    and contraction of the universe give rise to
    pulsating universe.
     The pulsating universe theory, which is more
    commonly known as the oscillating or cyclic
    universe theory, posits that the universe goes
    through regular cycles of expansion and
    destruction. This theory is credited to Albert
    Einstein.
     In the cyclic model, the universe begins with a "big
    bang" and ends with a "big crunch." After the big
    bang, the universe expands until gravitational forces
    force it to stop. At this point, the universe contracts
    until it implodes into a singularity. A gravitational
    singularity is a point where gravitational forces are
    infinite. After this contraction occurs, the cycle
    begins again with a new big bang.
     The original cyclic universe theories conflict with the established laws
    of thermodynamics, which state that entropy in a system can only
    increase. The collapse of the universe into a big crunch results in a loss
    of entropy. Newer models solve this problem by factoring in dark
    energy, a type of energy not yet discovered in Einstein's time.
     This theory is not the currently accepted theory about the origin and
    end of the universe, but does explain some shortcomings of other
    theories. Most prominently, it solves the thermal state problem: how
    the universe begins at such a high temperature. In cyclic theories, the
    implosion of all matter and energy in the universe into a singularity
    produces the required energy to initiate a big bang.
