>If so the question remains whether contigent acts of inflation could occur again and blow the universe apart
There is a theory of hyperchaos in Meillassoux's work that basically states that the universe could unravel at any moment as its only necessary rule is contingency. It's been too long since I last read anything by him so I don't remember the explanation in detail (it had to do with Cantor and others), but it certainly is interesting. I've heard Deleuze's system being described as very similar to this, but with the added notion that the Eternal Return has a centrifugal force that selects certain more stable relations and eliminates others so that the system becomes more stable in some sense.

I know none of these are physical explanations, but they come to mind whenever models like the Big Crunch are brought up.
