The oscillatory universe is a cosmological model, originally derived by Alexander Friedman in 1922 and developed by Richard Tolman from 1934, in which the universe undergoes a series of oscillations, each beginning with a big bang and ending with a big crunch.
After the big bang, the universe expands for a while before the gravitational attraction of matter causes it to collapse back in and undergo a bounce.
John Archibald Wheeler, who believed that a closed universe was necessary on general principles, speculated that the fundamental physical constants could be re-processed to new values at each bounce, providing a mechanism for anthropic selection.

That this period of the universe would be observable in the form of cosmic background radiation (CBR) was first predicted in the 1940s, and the discovery of such radiation in the 1960s swung most scientific opinion against the Big Bang theory's chief rival, the steady state theory.
Based on measurements of the expansion of the universe using type I supernovae, measurements of the lumpiness of the cosmic microwave background, and measurements of the correlation function of galaxies, it is currently believed that the universe has an age of 13.7 ± 0.2 billion years.
Theories which assert that the universe has an infinite life such as the steady state theory fail to account for the abundance of deuterium in the cosmos, because deuterium easily undergoes nuclear fusion in stars and there are no known astrophysical processes other than the Big Bang itself that can produce it in large quantities.

 Oscillatory universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The oscillatory universe is the hypothesis, attributable to Richard Tolman, that the universe undergoes an infinite series of oscillations, each beginning with a big bang and ending with a big crunch.
After the big bang, the universe expands for a while before the gravitational attraction of matter causes it to collapse back in and undergo a bounce.
Theoretically, the oscillating universe could not be reconciled with the second law of thermodynamics: entropy would build up from oscillation to oscillation and cause heat death.

Einstein's theory of general relativity, developed during this time, admitted no static solutions (that is to say, the universe had to be either expanding or shrinking), a result that he himself considered wrong, and which he attempted to fix by adding a cosmological constant which did not fix the problem.
The former category includes the light curves of type I supernovae, the observations that the universe appears to be isotropic, that galaxies appear to be receding from each other, and that the sky is dark (Olbers's paradox).
This observation was later confirmed by the Peebles group at Princeton University, who were themselves trying to construct a microwave antenna with a ruby maser to detect the CMB when Penzias and Wilson made their serendipitous discovery.

This component of the universe's composition is revealed by its property of causing the expansion of the universe to deviate from a linear velocity-distance relationship by causing spacetime to expand faster than expected at very large distances.
Because the early universe was in thermal_equilibrium, the temperature of the radiation and the plasma were equal until the plasma recombined.

In an open Universe, General Relativity shows that the Universe can exist indefinitely in the future, but will settle down into a state where life as we know it will cease to exist.
It is unclear what the end result would be: a simple extrapolation would have all the matter and space-time in the Universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity, but at these scales quantum effects, ignored by General Relativity, should be considered.

The model of the universe stemming from the proposal of Lemaître, as modified later by others is commonly called the big-bang universe.
Perhaps then the current expanding universe resulted not from a Big Bang singularity but from an earlier contracting phase; as the universe has collapsed, the particles in it might not have collided but have flown past and then away from each other, producing the present expansion of the universe.

We introduced the term physiological coherence to describe a physiological mode that encompasses entrainment, resonance, and synchronization, which are all distinct but related physiological phenomena that are frequently associated with more ordered and harmonious interactions among the body's systems.
The coherence mode is associated with a sine wave-like pattern in the heart rhythms (reflecting increased synchronization between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system), a shift in autonomic balance toward increased parasympathetic activity, increased heart-brain synchronization, increased vascular resonance, and entrainment between diverse physiological oscillatory systems.
