The prevailing notion of a singular, 'one shot' Big Bang that sprang
forth from 'Nothing', followed by an "ever-accelerating expansion" of
another 'Nothing' carrying a sprinkling of matter along for the ride
back to entropic oblivion makes a LOT of sense, huh?

While that's quite funny to imagine, it's not very real.
Such daydreams are fine for the idle, it's not real life.

Doh.
