>We observe the universe's expansion as if it's accelerating.
Yes, but that could still fit any of the models, we are just in the beggining stage of the big crunch model, where as the universe cools from the big bang, it accelerates. But once it reaches peak cooldown it will cease to accelerate then begin deceleration. Look at the model that OP posted. The yellow square is where we are at now.
Penrose proposes that the very far future of a previous universe (after all matter decays and only massless radiation remains) looks mathematically like the very beginning of a new universe. Each universe, or aeon, begets the next. Fascinatingly, he even claims to see evidence of this in the cosmic microwave background. Circular patterns that might be “echoes” from the previous universe.

We weren't "created by the universe," we ARE the universe. I believe that the universe is infinite, meaning that there was no beginning and there is no end. The big bang repeats itself infinitely, and this is proved by Hawking radiation. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, so it is converted into radiation in a black hole. The radiation is then converted back into matter in a "big bang."
In a truly infinite timeline, every moment exists eternally in its place, like points on an infinite number line.
You are not the destination of that line, you are a point on it. There’s no need to "arrive" at now from the infinite. You always were here, just as the infinite past always was. You didn't travel from infinity. You emerged when the conditions were right: for mind, structure, and complexity.
In an infinite past, you don’t have to cross infinity to reach the present.
The present is simply where you are, in the flow of existence, in a universe that may never have started and may never end—but which, for one fleeting moment, woke up and wondered why.
