It should be obvious from symmetry that the universe has
no preferred spot from which the expansion emanates.
I would not be overwhelmed if, in the long passage of
time, some fine mind captures a constructive view of the
universe that permits or demands some repetitious cycling
of the materials of the universal fabric, and even conceives
evidence to support that idea.
Evidence is the crucial component: without it one has merely
a belief system or religion - such as the believers in gravity
waves or quarks currently hold. (This is not quite fair - one
can easily argue that these constructs are supported by evidence
of the kind that Sherlock Holmes might call the 'dogs that do
not bark'.)
