That's certainly true for biology, for it to be true for physics too you need reproduction and mutation. Some say the singularity at the center of a Black Hole is infinitely small and spacetime is infinitely curved and space and time comes to an end at that point. But Smolin says the singularity is very small but not infinitely small and spacetime is highly curved but not infinitely curved there and space and time will not end but bounce off the singularity producing a new universe. And because of quantum uncertainty a dozen or so physical constants in the offspring universe will be slightly different from its parent. As for recent developments ruling it out....for Smolin's theory to work at least some information would be needed to be transferred from the parent universe to the baby universe through a black hole , and that may not be possible but there is no scientific consensus on that yet.
