"This seems to me more of a nit-pick over the definition of "beginning". If there is not an information path from one big crush to the next big bang then it is equivalent to a new beginning." You can argue for an absolute beginning as you did initially or you can modify that to be a series of new beginnings as you are currently suggesting. You may also declare that you honestly don't have a clue about a begining. Your gumball can become singularly uniform (not detectable as space or matter in which case time has no referencial meaning) or the universe can come close to singularity then inflate once again. The difference is not nit-picky it is monumental. In the former case you have a universe that seems to come from a scientific definition of 'nothing'(It could still be a flux system, btw). In the latter, you have a universe of space time and matter that exists as something involved in an eternal flux. You can find evidence of both since we have black holes which satisfy the scientific definition of nothing, and we have evidence of inflation/collapse.
