I prefer the idea that the universe has always existed and has been expanding and contracting forever. The idea that once the universe ends that's it forever for all eternity nothingness, unsettles me. Not for any scientific reason do I prefer the other it's just because it makes me feel better ahaha.

Well a resonating universe is still pretty likely in my opinion. Space isn't stable and always continues to change. So why couldn't the universe contract again after the expansion has reached its peak. It would explain the concept of infinite time.

I like the idea. 

 

It would describe the age of the universe figure that we have as not the age of the universe but the age since the last expansion. Once we figure out what dark energy is we may then be able to work out if the universe will expand forever or if it will stop and gravity will win over again and contract back to singularity until it becomes too unstable and expands again and again and again.
