Big bang or big crunch?

Stephen Hawking has helped bring Big Bang theory of the start of our universe to a much wider audience. But what about at the other end of the time scale? Some suggest that the universe will reach a certain point, and then start collapsing back in on itself, climaxing in a "Big Crunch".
A further theory is that both scenarios are possible, and the whole thing behaves in a cyclic fashion - like 'reincarnation' for all and everything....

Remember the big hit song of 1969, "In The Year 2525"... ?

Your first record ....

What was the very first record that you were the proud owner of?

(1971 - "20 Solid Hits" an Australian varioius artists TV promotional LP)

Do you still have it somewhere in your collection?

(Yes)

Or was it something you'd rather hide behind the wardrobe and hope nobody finds out about?

(I DID buy stuff by the Partridge Family / Bay City Rollers / Simon & Garfunkel etc. but they all belong amongst my memories of growing up and I'm PROUD OF IT .... (hahaha) )

That's me - anyone else care to add their "oldest memories", be my guest ....
