The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests.

Big Bounce is cool, but heat death isn’t such a bad thing after all because - and I’m no astrophysicist - I’ve always had a pet theory that a universe as complex as ours could emerge spontaneously from a void of nothing given quantum fluctuations and infinite time.
I think that’s the going string theory explanation these days. I like big bounce because it also explains the initial low-entropy state of the universe really elegantly, which gives you all sorts of nice things like the arrow of time.

It wasn’t complex when it emerged though, all that happened later.
