Some time ago I watched a broadcast that was quite interesting. Can't recall if it was NOVA/PBS... might have been the Science channel on satellite.

What I remember most is the part regarding universal expansion and contraction. It was attributed to the exhalation and inhalation of Brahma. When He inhaled, the universe expanded. When he exhaled, it contracted. Much like what was said in the Youtube link about the universe(s) being a continual process. Seems natural.
