Evidence of a prior universe?

Quote:

Ring-like patterns in the sky could be ghostly imprints of a universe that existed before the big bang, according to a controversial new study.

If the theory is correct, the cosmic rings may be the first real-world evidence that our current universe is just the latest in an endless string of recycled universes, the study authors say. (Related: "Universe Reborn Endlessly in New Model of the Cosmos.")

Astronomers found the circular patterns in a new analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is the radiation left over from the big bang that now permeates the universe.

Interesting.

Sound very interesting. But let´s face it. I don´t think that we are able to find an answer to the creation of the universe. The problem is, if scientists find an answer, they automatically open up a whole new range of questions. For example this new theory. Maybe our universe is "recycled" or whatever, but where did this recycling process start? The same for the big bang theory. What initiated the big bang and what was before it?

The universe is a mystery that can´t be solved, it´s just to complex.

Agreed. We search for definite answers and end up with interpretations or assumptions. It sometimes frightens me thinking about all the "facts" that are merely extensions of these assumptions

Right. Also, science gives us a few examples of theories that could explane the universe in some way, but my guess is that you can´t find one specific answer. It´s like a puzzle, you have to connect theories to each other to solve it. That´s the area, in which science fails. One answer isn´t enough to describe our universe.
