I thought one of the predictions of the ekpyrotic theory was that there would not be the gravity waves that the standard model predicts, and that this could test between the two theories.
the standard model currently is not supposed to collapse (and rebirth?) but the ekpyrotic model allows recurring universes.
just curious.
