Convergence tunnels may offer proof of the nature of the universe as an eternal system

In this paper a follow up or addendum is presented with regard to the eternal nature of the universe. The drawings herein are from original manuscripts and are presented in the form of quick sketches and drafts as this demonstrates best the thought process involved in the genesis of this theory. However these drawings are static where as the imagined process of an eternal universe is one where all matter is in constant motion. Hence these drawings represent a snap shot or projection of matter through the space-time continuum. One might imagine the universe as a gigantic bubble of mass which expands and contracts over time. As this bubble is in constant motion, at the point where it is smallest there would appear to be a vortex through which all matter would be projected and this would be periodic in nature to yield an eternal, cyclic universe.
What proof, if any, might there be to support the theory of an infinite, eternal universe? If the universe is eternal and cyclic in nature, does organized matter from one cycle of the universe flow over into another cycle of the universe? Or is the convergence of matter and energy so great as to prevent the transition of organized matter?

In this example or model the point of convergence is actually a wide cosmic tunnel such that star systems flow through the tunnel (or constitute a tunnel effect when their motion over time is projected to produce an imagined image). The point of convergence would be a period when the probability for collision between star systems would be greatest, and in fact, evidence that galaxies have collided may be proof of such convergence. Also the spiralling nature of galaxies may be due to the forces acting upon star systems at the point of convergence, as matter moving through a convergence tunnel would tend to be given a spiral motion.
In an infinite, eternal universe, one where the cyclic nature of the universe involves the flow of matter/star systems through a relatively wide cosmic tunnel, matter would have a infinite age; ie, there would be matter in such a universe older than the period of the cyclic universe. If, however, the point of convergence is so narrow that all matter implodes upon itself, one would not expect to find matter of an age greater than the period between convergences.
Figure 10 Point of convergence approaches zero. In this event one should imagine the summation of the mass and energy which constitutes the universe tending toward a point of collapse along a time line between the past and the future, such that all matter would tend toward a point of zero which is theoretically impossible to reach.
The primary problem with a cyclic, eternal universe where the point of convergence approaches zero is that all matter is so dispersed that it would not be able to come together at a single point in the time-space continuum. However the point of convergence may vary, such that the cosmic diameter of the projected tunnel through which matter/star systems passes is of a dimension which may cause varying degrees of cataclysm or reorganization of matter. Such a universe would have the appearance of one in which a Big Bang occurs yet would be eternal in nature, given that all matter is really being cycled through a convergence tunnel (or what may be projected in time-space to be a convergence tunnel).
I would postulate that in a cyclic, eternal universe where star systems pass through a convergence tunnel that all star systems would tend to spiral in the same direction relative to the point of convergence in the tunnel through which they pass. Another way of saying this is that if a vector is drawn through the point of convergence to a star system/galaxy, the direction of spiral of the galaxy will be either clockwise or counter-clockwise, but never both.
Figure 11 At point of convergence all matter would tend to rotate in same direction perhaps contributing to the spiral nature of galaxies; ie, that galaxies in close proximity to one another would tend to have similar directions of rotation.
When galaxies are then observed in close proximity to one another they should appear to be spinning in a similar direction.
Figure 12 Galaxies in close proximity would appear to have similar directions of rotation as in the case of these clockwise spiral galaxies..
Figure 13 It would be, perhaps, unusual to observe galaxies in close proximity with dissimilar or opposite directions of rotation.
If galaxies in close proximity have different directions of rotation this would suggest they may have come into being after passing through the convergence tunnel, or that the convergence tunnel is so narrow as to have destroyed organized star systems, new star systems having organized themselves after matter emerged from the convergence tunnel.
Another possibility which presents itself is the idea of multiple universes where in matter sometimes spumes from one universe to another. Imagine in such a multiple system of universes matter spuming or geysering between universes may result in a universe with galaxies that spin in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions. However I would still be surprised to see galaxies in close proximity rotating in opposite directions should the matter which constitutes those systems have gone through the same convergence tunnel, and that convergence tunnel not have a wide cosmic diameter. The antithesis of this is that in a convergence tunnel of wide cosmic diameter there is no reason galaxies could not spin in opposite directions.
It would seem from this analysis that the nature of the universe is determined by the cosmic dimensions of the convergence tunnel through which all matter and energy passes during the cyclic process of expansion and contraction of the universe. The more narrow a convergence tunnel the more it would appear that the universe originated from a Big Bang type convergence where all matter is converted to energy only to condense once through the convergence tunnel. However I postulate that star systems move intact through the convergence tunnel such that there is matter in the universe which has an age greater than that of the period between convergences. Of course this period is so long that perhaps matter changes state within that time.
(1) Might the presence of a convergence or divergence of matter be indicated by the concentration of star systems and galaxies in the universe? Perhaps at points where there is an extreme concentration of galaxies and/or stars this may indicate the proximity of a vortex tunnel through which matter is passing or is about to pass.
(2) Does matter flow in a straight line through a vortex or does matter spiral through the vortex? A spiral path may indicate a twist in the space-time continuum. The path which matter takes through a vortex may be a function of the shape or slope (curve) of the space-time continuum and the length of the vortex implicated by the vector projection of matter/star systems.

(3) Existence of such vortexes or tunnels between universes may lend such vortex tunnels a more definite and prolonged existence, whereas such a vortex in regard to a periodic convergence of the universe is an in process configuration that is only seen as a vortex when conceived of as a projection over time.
