I dimly recall reading this many years ago, perhaps as early as the 60s.
It was referred to as the oscillating Universe and was another alternative to the "Big Bang".

Bottom line, it's not new and, still, no one has a clue.

Over time, the Universe would spend far longer in states with a vacuum energy close to zero than with a high vacuum energy.

Nature abhors a vacuum?
