But, if we use Einsteinian concepts, we realize that heat & light are ponderable, that the heat & light of an airplane in flight differ subtly from the heat & light of a household furnace, that gravity may entrain the heat & light emitted by blazing stars. In such case, gravity catches hold of the whole expanding universe, pulls it together until constrained energy becomes too tense to hold. Thereupon a new cycle of expansion ensues...
