Gravity. During the expansion you have two effects. One is the equalization of two energy density environments, our expanding universe and the greater universe that separates masses from each other. The other is gravity that attracts masses to each other.

When expansion is complete, i.e. when the energy density is equalized, the galaxies and black holes and “dust” of our arena are set free out into the greater universe. All of that mass that is now moving under its own established momentum still exerts and is affected by gravity.

Now picture a potentially infinite heritage of arenas “depositing” their remnants (galaxies, black holes, etc.) out in the equalized greater universe. The matter from numerous previous arenas will rendezvous and mix and mingle and come under the influence of gravity without the influence of expansion. Big crunches form from these conditions and lead to new arenas. Big crunches burst into expansion after the matter that goes into the crunch is “negated” back to EEPs.

Why should we return?

Gravity dictates it.

In fact what force would power this in either direction ?

It is as yet undiscovered physics that is enabled by the unifying particle that I predict will eventually be discovered. I call it the elementary energy particle (EEP) that I describe in my blog.

The EEP engineers an “energy to matter to energy” process that plays out in the innumerable arenas that are always forming and “dissolving” across the greater universe.

Will re-read your blog entries.

I hoping more people will read it. There are several more entries almost ready but if I keep posting entries it gets harder and harder for members of the community to wade through them.

I want to enlist the help of the community as I work on the details of matter formation. I have a blog entry ready about the intimate details of how hydrogen atoms form from the energy density of space but right now they don’t have spin and angular momentum. If a few here get interested enough to offer suggestions as to how the proton and electron that form from the EEPs that make up the energy density of space acquire spin and angular momentum, then I can post my entry about the cause of gravity, and then the community might want to help in the description of how hydrogen stars are formed from the isotropic and homogeneous hydrogen environment.
