But physicists have also come up with theories claiming that the Big Bang was non-singular and can repeat, restarting the cycle over again. These are called \u201ccyclic models,\u201d and they\u2019ve re-emerged into the spotlight now that there\u2019s mounting evidence that dark energy is weakening over time. However, a physicist from UC Berkeley recently published a paper which he claims \u201ccategorically rules out\u201d cyclic models.
