### recollapsing FLRW-universes

can you construct a FLRW-universe with dark matter and dark energy (with constant equation of state $w$) that recollapses? what's a suitable condition?

### FLRW-universes with no big bang

is it possible to set up a FLRW-model with dark matter and dark energy that has a finite size in the inifinite past, i.e. a universe without a big bang?

### ambiguity in the Planck-units?

the Planck-units are defined using the great constants of Nature: $c$ from relativity, $\hbar$ from quantum mechanics, $k_B$ from thermodynamics and finally $G$ as the gravitational coupling constant. but gravity brings a long a second coupling constant, the cosmological constant $\Lambda$, which now makes the Planck system of units overdetermined: is there a way to resolve this?
