Sorry if it seems like I'm nit-picking, but the Big Bang is pretty much the opposite of a steady-state hypothesis. In fact it was just such a conflict between those two opposing theories that led ironically to the esteemed astronomer Fred Hoyle coining the phrase Big Bang in a BBC interview as a disparaging term: he was trying to denigrate the theory that opposed his own pet steady-state one. Regardless, the Big Bang is an expansion theory, whereas steady-state was constructed in an attempt to balance the expansion rate with an equal rate of newly created matter; until the CMB evidence was discovered, it was essentially a toss-up which side was right.
What you describe in terms of cycles sounds more like an oscillating Universe. Seriously, I'm not trying to be overly pedantic, I just want to make sure there are no loose threads that cretinists can sieze hold of.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
