Big Bounce

The Big Bounce is an disproven rescue mechanism to escape the finite age universe implied by the Big Bang. The Big Bounce posits that the universe exists in cycles where it expands and then contracts back into a singularity. Believers assert this has been occurring for an infinite amount of time thus reasserting that the universe has an infinite age and was uncreated.
