Scientific paper
In a recent paper Graham et al constructed oscillating and static universe
models which are stable with respect to all classical perturbations. Here we
show that such universes are quantum-mechanically unstable and can collapse by
quantum tunneling to zero radius. We also present instantons describing
nucleation of oscillating and static universes from nothing.
