That's one way to say it, but hasn't it been proven that Space is still expanding? The aftershock of the big bang? I saw a History channel thing about that... After it went BOOM-CLANK-KAPOW on us, it kept expanding.

To me, it makes sense that it's like a balloon: You breath out, ushing air into the balloon. You breath back in, the air comes out of the balloon. Then we havesuper-small space, again, and then bigbangagain to make it big, big crunch to make it small. See where I'm going?
