        Speaking of expansion, if the universe has no beginning/end, how can their be expansion? https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&ei=eaMKWIilBonwmQHD95LoDg&q=no+big+bang&oq=no+big+ba&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.0.0l5.2953.5847.0.7864.10.10.0.3.3.0.252.2121.0j4j6.10.0....0...1.1.64.mobile-gws-hp..0.10.1608.3..41j0i3k1j0i131k1j0i155k1.36HpQIchcN8#xxri=15 …

        beginning and end are human concepts. Expand, contract, squeeze, bang, expand, contract....etc
