Ekpyrotic
The factual accuracy of this article is disputed: see
The ekpyrotic universe or ekpyrotic scenario is a cosmological theory regarding the origin of the universe. It is sometimes called the "big crash" scenario because, in contrast viewing the big bang as a rapid outward expansion from a gravitational singularity, the Ekpyrotic universe states that the beginning of the universe was initiated when a parallel membrane crashed into our own (and caused the associated expansion). This resulted in the radiant energy and heat of the current universe. Although highly speculative, the ekpyrotic universe is a subject of intense interest in the high energy and astrophysical community.
