Cosmic no-hair theorems for viscous contracting Universes

A cosmic no-hair theorem for all initially contracting, spatially homogeneous, orthogonal Bianchi Cosmologies is derived - which shows that such Universes asymptote to a flat, isotropic Universe with the inclusion of shear viscous stress. This establishes new mechanism isotropisation in contracting Universe, does not take recourse an ekpyrosis-like using effective ultra-stiff equation state fluid, is, one pressure much greater than energy density.
