How possible is it that the universe has been expanding and contracting for eternity and after every new iteration of the universe it causes the same events to happen and we've been living the same exact lives over and over again? I know I'm not the first to think of this.

Like the monkey thing and typing out Shakespeare, all permutations can happen due to inherent physics. Thus, looping occurs, but only to a certain point. Past that, nothing that exists now may have never existed before and may never exist again.

Cars? fucking "SERIES" you stupid shit autospell check.
If you want a scientific answer go google the "past-eternal Universe". Models of the Universe are still being debated today and you are going to have to get away from /sci/ and do your own research. The topic is pretty complicated and I sure me and the rest of /sci/ won't give you anything sufficient. If you want to argue about the eternal return /his/ might be a better place, just make a thread on Nietzsche or something.

Is that a man or a woman in your image? Looks female, but you can never know on 4chan.

Most likely, even before the matrix, someone thought of iterations...millennia ago. I think the matrix guys were on their 7th iteration.
However, I myself think it's never the same. Those of us with [true] intelligence--with honor/honesty--want to help the world with our gifts: so we come back in a better life, with better health, better caregivers, and with more opportunities to contribute to society. If this is false, then I see no purpose. We are mindless rocks believing we're not rocks, for a few years until we die.

>How possible is it
Completely and one hundred percent possible.
Though I think it's reasonably unlikely--based on my experiences--unless we're mere puppets of the physical world (that our consciousness is a sham and we don't exist at all).
It is the only possibility. You are merely another link in the chain.
Abandon all delusions of control.

I'd graze her hitbox if you know what I mean.
