Anyways, with the multiverse paradigm, the expansion of universes into the "Bulk", might actually disturb singularities causing them to expand.
Might also be worth noting that the intense gravity at the singularity would be a cause for time to slow down or even stop maybe. With a change in force of gravity initiating time again.
This is crazy stuff [crazy]

The thing is about this is that there'd need to be a force which is completely independent and separate from time, as in it works outside of time's affect upon motion and movement. Granted, there's still not alot known about if anything does work independently away from the influence of time, though if anything does I believe gravity would fit the bill.
I'm thinking on how black holes operate, as they have intense enough gravitational fields that they stop time once you get close enough, but they still accumulated matter and operate despite time being halted and altered around it.
Ooo, another random thought that could work. As with black holes altering and warping space time around it, allowing for possible time travel due to the fabrics of time folding in upon itself, the primordial singularity which was the universe being before the big bang could have set itself off using the same principle. The universe's expansion and contraction occuring could reach back to the first mass due to the folding principle of space-time surrounding black holes, just in a more intense manner allowing the universe to essentially kick start itself not only in the past but in the future incarnations of it as well. Also, as time has no true meaning to the universe as a whole, just for the internal workings, this doesn't create any paradoxes.
