Wouldn't a yo-yo universe violate the second law of thermodynamics?

Why? If some force, like gravity, makes it collapse, it will do so. If something else makes it go Bang, it will do so. Why couldn't this continue eternally? Where would the energy loss due to some kind of friction go?

If you've really mastered that sort of physics, you should be able to invent a yoyo which requires no energy imput from the user. There should be lots of money in something like that.
