这项发现意味着，宇宙可能不会到达稳定阶段，也不会像有人提到的“大挤压”那样收缩会永远膨胀下去，反而可能会无休止地膨胀下去。
The discovery means that the universe is likely to continue expanding indefinitely, instead of reaching a steady state or collapsing back in on itself in what some call a "big crunch."
“一个充满物质的宇宙会收缩至一个小——但有限——的尺寸然后又反弹开，产生我们今天看到的膨胀的宇宙，”他说。
"A universe filled with matter will contract down to a small—but finite—size and then bounce out again, giving us the expanding cosmos we see today, " he says.
他们发现在大爆炸发生之前，存在一个收缩的宇宙。
They found that before the Big Bang, there was a contracting universe.
