Did you drink too much bubbly last night?
If we accept a theory of a never-ending series of Big Bangs, I think it follows that the Universe must be infinite. It would be difficult to find out which bubble was the "first" or "original" bubble, so for all practical purposes the Universe would be like an infinite onion...
The concept about the Universe creating itself comes from J. Richard Gott III's book "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" - a highly speculative book. It's not my idea.
And frankly, I wouldn't give it good odds.
