The universe recycles itself current findings show that the expansion has reached critical and now space time matter energy are collapsing back in on itself. 

That's news to me. Where do you get that from?

A recent paper suggest we might actually still be in a closed universe. Link here. I don't know if that is where dyre got the idea from.
