OK, first of all, this won't be happening anytime soon (the ubiquitous "they" tell us), but (and I can say this only because I choose to believe "them" about that) how awesomely cool is this??!? Ever since detecting a Higgs boson-like particle in their collider, scientists have been theorizing about what it might mean in the bigger sense. One of these theories is that of the cyclical universe, and it goes like this, according to Dr. Joseph Lykken, a theoretician at the Fermi National Accelerator Lab: "What happens is you get just a quantum fluctuation that makes a tiny
bubble of the vacuum the Universe really wants to be in. And because
it's a lower-energy state, this bubble will then expand, basically at
the speed of light, and sweep everything before it": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21499765
