From the NASA/WMAP Science Team:
"The expansion of the universe over most of its history has been relatively gradual. The notion that a rapid period of 'inflation' preceded the big bang expansion was first put forth 25 years ago. The new WMAP observations favor specific inflation scenarios over other long-held ideas."
Thoughts of anon -
 question is whether the expansion included the beginning and end 
or to tell it another way
whether the beginning saw the end and the next beginning ad infinitum -just like looking into two parellel mirrors

or to explain doubts -whether the beginning the end and more beginnings and more ends of universe are possible this minute; now and  to day?

even if universe remains in constant state -without end ;is there a possibility of the future scenario already present now ;this moment ;
in a different view or a different WORLD ;A PARALLEL( OR PERPENDICULAR )ADJACENT (OR FAR) UNIVERSE .;WHERE ONE SEES OUR UNIVERSE FROM A BEGINNING TILL NOW AND FUTURE

Many Worlds Theory of Infinite Parallel Universes

The Many Worlds Theory of Infinite Parallel Universes is the most satisfying scientific theory to explain the paradoxes inherent in Quantum Reality. Quantum Reality is the most successful scientific theory to ever explain the experimental data gathered by over a century of physics research. However, the conclusions are mind boggling to scientists because they want a nice logical explanation for the universe and quantum reality gives them a world of impreciseness and probability with data pointing to a single non-local field of energy composed of waveforms. This includes making the assumption that objects and observers are not independent but somehow linked. It is the act of observing that causes all the paradoxes. To solve all of the paradoxes of observers and object being linked somehow, the theory expresses that for every quantum event observed, the universe splits into each and every possible observable outcome and each universe continues separate, and in parallel, unaware of the other universes. In effect, a universe without observers would exist as a superimposed set of possible outcomes, with each outcome in a suspended state of unmanifested existence. It is the act of observation that makes possibilities transend from probability to reality.

IT MAY LOOK LIKE A WORLD WITHOUT BEGINNING AND END?

Light created from vacuum shows empty space a myth-showspre the big bang there were (intelligent )particles

WASHINGTON: Scientists claim to have produced particles of light out of vacuum, proving that space is not empty.
An international team says that its experiment in which tiny parcels of light, or photons, are produced out of empty space has confirmed that a vacuum contains quantum fluctuations of energy, the Nature journal reported.
In fact, the scientists have demonstrated for the first time a strange phenomenon known as the dynamical Casimir effect, or DCE for short.
The DCE involves stimulating the vacuum to shed some of the myriad "virtual" particles that fleet in and out of existence, making them real and detectable. Moreover, the real photons produced by the DCE in their experiment collectively retain a peculiar quantum signature that ordinary light lacks.
The research, led by Chris Wilson of Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, shows that a related dynamic effect can occur when such a mirror moves very fast through vacuum. The DCE was predicted over 40 years ago, but had not yet been observed experimentally due to the difficulty of creating the required experimental conditions.
