Testing predictions of cyclical theory through observations from "summary" of Endless Universe by Paul J. Steinhardt,Neil Turok

The cyclical theory posits that the universe undergoes an endless cycle of expansion and contraction, with new big bangs occurring periodically. This theory makes specific predictions about the nature of our universe that can be tested through observations. By analyzing the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the early universe, scientists can look for evidence of collisions between branes, which would support the cyclical theory. The concept of inflation, which suggests that the universe underwent a rapid period of expansion in its early stages, can also be tested through observations. By studying the large-scale structure of the universe and the distribution of galaxies, researchers can look for patterns that would be expected if inflation occurred. If these predictions are borne out by observations, it would provide strong support for the cyclical theory. Another prediction of the cyclical theory is the existence of gravitatio...
