What if the hot Big Bang was not the beginning, but the beginning of another cosmic cycle?
CBE Cycle Cosmology presents a new framework in which the universe repeatedly expands, contracts and renews. At maximum compression, ordinary space, matter and structure cease to retain their familiar forms, producing a finite boundary state called the Boundary-State Quantum Plenum (BSQP). Containment failure then initiates rapid decompression and the emergence of a new expanding universe.
CBE does not reject the successful physics of the hot universe. General Relativity, quantum field theory, nucleosynthesis, recombination and standard cosmic evolution remain intact after spacetime emerges. The difference lies in the proposed cause-and-effect history: the observable universe is treated as one phase within a continuing expansion-contraction cycle rather than a one-time event arising from an unexplained beginning.
This book develops the physical interpretation, mathematical framework, observational comparisons and possible tests of CBE. It clearly distinguishes established physics from provisional modelling and unresolved questions, examining subjects including dark matter, dark energy, cosmic structure, black holes, gravitational waves, the cosmic microwave background and the conditions required for future recollapse.
CBE Cycle Cosmology invites readers to reconsider the universe not as something created from nothing, but as an enduring physical reality whose forms, structures and relationships are repeatedly compressed, reset and renewed.
