A Nonsingular Universe
Abstract
We construct an effective action for gravity in which all homogeneous solutions are nonsingular. In particular, there is neither a big bang nor a big crunch. The action is a higher derivative modification of Einstein's theory constructed in analogy to how the action for point particle motion in special relativity is obtained from Newtonian mechanics.
