Tiny Little Specks

This morning, while catching up on my backlogged magazines, I came across an article about the newest advances in astrophysics*.  It got me to thinking about the big bang theory and how we're so in the dark about a few details of the whole formation, not to mention what happened before that giant explosion.  Could it be possible that the big bang occurred more than once?  Perhaps there have been an infinite amount of big bangs, instigated by the gravitational pull of celestial objects eventually clumping together in a process equal to or slower than the original formation itself.  What goes up must come down, in a sense, right?

Or perhaps there's been a handful of big bangs.  For the sake of arguement, let's call them Super Bangs.  Imagine two or three different dense 'centers' of the universe that sucked in all matter harder than Paris Hilton in a hotel room.  Boom!  One goes off on one side of the universe while on another side, debris gets sucked into an alternate axis, potentially forming another Super Bang.  Maybe even there's another point where matter has almost finished expanding.

IANARS and know very little about the physics and meta physics of the universe compared to others, but I found this brief whim very intriguing at the very least.

* BTW, don't look at me that way, I do have another plane of thinking.
