It might be your 100th, or your 100 billionth time. You see, the Universe has stopped expanding. No more stretching the fabric of spacetime. Nope. It's shrinking. And it’s going to shrink until all space and time collide into a singularity smaller than the Like button on a YouTube video. And after that, there's a real chance it inflates outward again, in the same way a star goes supernova, exploding after collapsing in on itself. Giving birth to a new universe. You've heard of the Big Bang. Well, this would be a Big Bounce. And this may have happened already, trillions of times - with you right in the middle of it. So.
