Hi Karl
Like Alex I need to think a bit about some of the stuff you mention, as it has certainly got the grey matter going. Thanks for taking the time to write this. I'm often wondering if there was a big bang, what was there before the bang and what catalyst triggered the bang. You mention one point that has me intrigued, namely that the universe expanded faster then light. If this is the case, then the age of the universe is too old, since we assume light travels, and has always traveled, at 186,283 mps (sorry still think in old money) when we measure distances. Hence the universe covered the present observable distance in a shorter time period, giving the older 'looking' age.

Your faster than light concept gave me an idea. When you say that " At some stage it become too small and too massive to exist in its universe. It disappears from its universe. If something that exists in one place that exists, disappears, it leads to conclusion that it went to some other place that also exists." could this be a jump into Hyperspace/Exospace? What if those expanding parts of the universe traveling faster than light left normal space (if there is such a thing) and entered some kind of hyperspace or exospace dimension? Could it be that if Worm Holes or Gates to Hyperspace exist, they could be portals through parts of the universe that are still expanding faster than light?

Hope I've not misunderstood your concepts. I have probably been reading/watching too much SciFi during my formative years, but Arthur C Clark did say at the end of his 2001 A Space Odyssey that "This is a work of fiction, the truth will be far stranger".

Cheers Pete
