Is energy always conserved?

Does anyone know what Nassim Haramein thinks about the apparent conservation of energy problem? I would love to hear his views on it. If you knows, please let me know. 
In the meantime: Here are some questions to ponder for science lovers: Is the apparently lost photonic energy from redshift, simply absorbed back into the zero-point field where everything might have arose from anyway, thereby conserving energy? Perhaps after the universe's inflation period ends (if it does), would all matter just stop--all stars die out-with everything everywhere just cold dark death? Would that dead universe eventually collide with another warm living universe and be, ahem, Born Again? Or, would universal expansion eventually slow, then stop. Then, slowly start to reverse, like the according theory postulates, and begin heading back to singularity, building and collecting mass and momentum, and accelerating until mass and gravity coalesce, finally collapsing back onto itself into a giant black whole or something completely different that we currently do not understand, thereby setting up the stage for yet another BIG BANG, with that energy provided by the quantum vacuum or it's dark energy? Ah...deep breath... Or, is the "cold dark end" just the lowest entropy state, poof, lights out, everything in the universe frozen forever? Can't be! Or could it? The later seems unlikely, since so far, our current universe appears to have had a central starting point, so it could therefore somehow happen again. As above, so below. We keep finding bigger and smaller realms! It's all so fascinating! Where and when will it end? Will it begin again? MM
