Alternative to Big Bang Proposed

I don't really follow this, but two physicists have proposed a new model of the universe and say their math works out. Instead of continually expanding, they propose that a property of dark energy allows the universe to continuously oscillate between expanding and contracting. This means a never ending universe. I guess now its time for others to check the math and then experiments to be proposed to prove the theory.

Don't know if you've seen it already, but some of what is mentioned in the alternative you posted about sounds similar to "Einstein's Biggest Blunder":

I don't think it's the same, the dates are wrong, but it's clearly related and interesting. Thanks.
