At first, I believed that disorder would decrease when the universe recollapsed.

起初，我相信当宇宙新坍缩时，混乱减少。

This would eventually stop expansion in some regions and cause them to start to recollapse.

这最止某些地区的扩张，并导致它们开始新坍塌。

The initial rate of expansion also would have had to be chosen very precisely for the rate of expansion still to be so close to the critical rate needed to avoid recollapse.

初始膨胀率也常精确地选择，因为膨胀率仍然常接近避免新坍缩所需的临界率。

The idea behind the geometry of the Universe is that if there's enough matter in the Universe the expansion will slow, stop, and then everything will recollapse: a sort of Big Bang in reverse.

宇宙几何背后的理念是，如果宇宙中有足够多的物质，膨胀就放缓、止，然后一切都新凝固：这是一种反向的大爆炸。
