Ok, so I had until tonight to do my crazy/profound post, but Nick, being a forvian switwerg, ended the competition earlier, so I don't get a say in this. Whatever.
Aye, got to the interesting part in Hyperspace [by Michio Kaku], about the creation of the universe. Now, this got me thinking. The universe will die. It is inevitable. Whether gravity eventually crushes it into a point mass, or if it spreads out beyond the reach of the force of gravity, and dies because all protons decay after ~10^19 years [that is actually the half life].
Now, as the universe was formed, it was originally 10 dimensions, which split into 4 and 6 dimension universes, which only at high energies can be reunited. The 6 dimension universe is the size of oh say 10^-30 meters.
What becomes of the universe when it dies? Well, I think physics already holds the answer--the creation and destruction of the known universe may be a regular oscillation/vibration, with a VERY large period. As energy in the universe is converted into lesser and lesser [aka light is absorbed, but heat is then given off], then, energy is essentially "lost" [in quotations because energy is never lost, it is actually only ever gained due to tunnel warping].
This weakens the repulsive force between masses in the deep black, and so gravity overwhelms it [gravity being the weakest force].
Eventually, the universe will come together into a big "crunch" [so to speak], and what happens next will be just like what happens in a super-massive star [minus the black hole/neutron star phase].
The gravity will compress all the "cold" matter to great pressures, heating it to EXTREMELY high temperatures [up to, and including 10^32 degrees Kelvin]. At this temperature, there is enough energy for the 6 and 4 dimension universe to come back together and reunite all the laws of physics. Not only that, but the smashing of all these atoms together will form new particles, and so a new half-life begins.
Within a short time period [much less than a second, most likely], the energy will be so great as to cause a MASSIVE explosion, blasting the point mass of all the matter in the universe back in a direct recreation of the origins of the universe now.
Basically it is the renewal of the universe on a constant basis. Now, as you all know, any oscillating system has damping, so eventually, the system will stop vibrating, or, more accurately, the vibrations become negligible. Will our universe behave this law? Or will the conservation of matter and energy force the universe to be one gigantic undamped oscillating system? The reason I doubt this is that the conservation of energy IS violated on a very small scale on an infrequent basis [still occurs, though!].
Ok, I don't have all the ramifications hammered out, and so it might not make much sense, but it's all in my head, and it makes sense there, so I should be able to work it into words that mean something. And all of this is entirely original, I have not seen any theories out there like this--not that I've looked. This is not plagiarism.
Went to Mannion's this morning. Ate. Ate some more. Had elevensies, brunch, then lunch. You know. Drove back to Worcester.
Played Russ in a still ongoing game of MAX [been fighting each other "hotseat" style for about 4 hours, and we had to save because I had to go off and help with thermodynamics].
Tired. 'Night.
