WHAT -- Big -- Crunch??

I love the way scientific writers (not scientists themselves I suspect) introduce things in a casual way that suggests the reader skipped a chapter in some book on the topic being discussed ---- Here is physorg's reference to some theories about what came before the Big Bluster:

New theory suggests some black holes might predate the Big Bang
(PhysOrg.com) -- Cosmologists Alan Coley from Canada's Dalhousie University and Bernard Carr from Queen Mary University in London, have published a paper on arXiv, where they suggest that some so-called primordial black holes might have been created in the Big Crunch that came before the Big Bang, which lends support to the theory that the Big Bang was not a single event, but one that occurs over and over again as the universe crunches down to a single point, then blows up again, over and over.
