One of the biggest killers in the cyclic universe hypothesis is entropy building up over time. To picture a way around this, imagine a glass of water poured onto a slightly tilted table so it forms a stream.
Think of that water as the universe, and the stream itself as dark matter holding the whole thing together. The tilt and gravity act like dark energy pushing the expansion forward. As the stream flows, it stretches thinner and thinner until a small droplet or piece finally snaps off from the main stream.
That smaller piece becomes the seed for a new Big Bang (a bounce). Since the total entropy is stretched across the entire length of the main stream, only a “Goldilocks” amount of entropy goes with that breaking-off droplet—just enough to trigger the next bounce, but low enough to keep it from getting stagnant.

50 octaves lower? I didn’t think sound could go that low.

Amazing isn’t it… to go down an octave you can basically divide by 2 infinitely

A frequency 50 octaves below 20 Hz is approximately 0.0000000000000178 hertz. which corresponds to a wave period of roughly 1.78 million years
