Many people believe that the universe goes through "big bang cycles" and that it has been doing so forever- is there any way that we would be able to verify this?

Isn't this what Dr. Kaku says? He uses the analogy of water boiling creating many universes (ie: each bubble)

It's hard to picture any way of verifying more than one "big bang".
Moreover, the basic idea of a big bang is ridiculous. Having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes; nothing would ever bang its way out of that.
The big bang idea is based on a wrong interpretation of redshift data:

ekpyrotic branes
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.

If you interpret the red-shift data to mean velocities of galaxies, then the universe actually has begun accelerating outward after a period of initial gravitational deceleration, so by this interpretation it looks like the answer is that there are no cycles.
But this is an odd way of looking at it especially since quantum mechanics has discovered that space is a sea of energy in the form of planck particle pairs. So if space itself were expanding and the zero point energy were becoming less dense, the light would actually experience a blue shift en route.
But the doppler shift interpretation of red-shift data has run into more and more problems, so other interpretations should be sought.

Amen to that. Thanks for the websites.

There has never been any valid evidence to support such a theory, if people even recognize it as a theory. It is as much a work of fiction as X-Men.

Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
The old bogus argument that the Big Bang singularity must have been a black hole nonsense.
By the way - a nice list of bad science websites.

Re: Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
Are they bad because they are not mainstream or do you actually have reasons for calling them bad?
And... Do you think big bang cycles exist? If so, why? If not, why the big bang?

Re: Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
No they are bad because plasma cosmology has been falsified for decades.
Check it out - there is info about this out there.
I don't know if cycles occur or not - though it seems an added structure to spacetime that is not required by observation.

space is a sea of energy in the form of planck particle pairs...
Is that what strings are supposed to be ???

Proponents of plasma cosmology are a funny group. They complain the big bang theory is bad science. They claim it requires too many ad hoc assumptions even though it has made numerous successful predictions about the universe, making it a good scientific theory. They seek to replace it with a model that a. makes many ad hoc assumptions of it's own and b. has not made successful testible predictions, leaving it as a mere model while the big bang is a theory. It's even hard to get proponents of plasma cosmology to reveal any prediction the model makes at all, bringing us to the question of whether or not the model is even scientific.

Exactly
Name one prediction of plasma cosmology?
It's like QSSC cosmology - no predicitions just after the fact ad hoc explanations.
