The Universe is just one cell (comprised of many "atoms" (i.e. galaxies, solar systems and planets)) in a larger organism comprised of many other 'cells', an organism which itself is just a tiny cell in yet an even larger organism. And so on, and so on.
Sheeesh! It's not that hard!
When the 'Universe' expands, the larger organism just ate too much salt and is retaining water (Micky D's and chips). So, the Universe has to put its feet up. Swelling goes down...Universe contracts. Pulsating Universe...the next day after the Universe went on a bender with one too many shots of schnapps at last call.
Yeah, turtles all the way down.
What if that universal swelling is accompanied by morning sickness? After a night on the town, Miss Universe might just miss her period.
