If you think about what famous scientist Stephen B. Hawkins says there's a hope.... If the Universe stops expanding and starts retracting then everything that we know about time will be reversed and the laws of Universe will work in the opposite way.....
- Everything will go from Uniform to Chaos, probably like what we see at Alex's home
- Time will reverse, which means we will grow younger, not older
- We will remember what we will do tomorrow, but not what happened yesterday (Reminds me about Ronald Reagan)
At least this is what Dr. Hawkins suggests, I'm not sure how well he knows the chaos in Alex's house but the other things he knows a lot about.....
