I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the "big bang" and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more "big bangs"
It's called "Battle of the Big Bangs"
I learned it from Alex O'Connor's "Within Reason" podcast episode 115
I mean that there are more than one physical "universe" in the same physical space, they're just so far apart from each other that the gravity and bangs aren't close enough to have much effect on each other.
We're just experiencing another iteration of "Earth is the center of the universe". We figured out something like the big bang might happen and assumed it was the edge of all time and space. Once again putting us at the center of reality.
Yeah that's covered in the book and podcast.
Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.
The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.
I'm just a tech guy so I can't explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing!
