The first edition of the book Nikolai Gorkavy «The Oscillating Universe» was published in February 2023 in the Publishing House of Chelyabinsk State University in a limited paper edition. At the same time on the website Scientific Library of Chelyabinsk State University it was published its electronic version, available for everyone to read.
An electronic version of this book is available on our website, which is kept up-to-date by the author. It has a different layout and cover, and contains some corrections and additions made by the author after its publication:
07/25/2023 - added paragraph 20.3 «Relic kilohertz gravitational waves».
09/06/2023 - fixed some inaccuracies.
09/25/2023 - fixed some inaccuracies.
The second edition of the book with the changed title «The Pulsating Universe» was published by the Publishing House «Peter» in June 2024 (1,500 copies) and in early 2025 (1,000 copies).
The third edition of the book«The Oscillating Universe»
was published in the summer of 2025 by Elsevier, the world's largest scientific publishing house. This English-language edition is sold all over the world, and
is positioned as a scientific monograph for professionals. This is facilitated by a significant revision of the book and the transfer of equations from the appendices to the main text.

Abstract to the first edition of the book
The newest cosmological revolution began in 2015, when gravitational waves were discovered from the merger of many invisible black holes of stellar masses that make up the dark matter of the cosmos. This discovery led to the creation of a model of an oscillating universe, in the dynamics of which gravitational radiation and black holes play a key role. This book is the first to describe cyclic cosmology, explaining the physical mechanism of the Big Bang and the modern acceleration of the expansion of the Universe (the phenomenon of the positive cosmological constant or "dark energy"). The main text of the book is written in popular level, but the application contains an exhaustive mathematical description of an oscillating universe with variable gravitational mass. The book is of interest to a wide range of readers, physics students and specialists.
