I have a question. Now I've never heard this from anyone else before although it's nothing revolutionary I just want some opinions. So what if the big bang isn’t the beginning at all? What if it’s just a rapid expansion of something that has ALWAYS been expanding? If the universe is everything and infinity is packed into a very small area, perhaps it was only seen as very minuscule because of its relation to our size today. Perhaps at that time, it was quite large in comparison to whatever inhabitants may have existed with that sort of heat and pressure. Right now, our universe may seem infinitely dense in comparison with this same universe in billions of years! In evolution there are rapid changes in a species and then periods of much less and much more gradual change. Then again, another high point of quick changes and then it slows down again. What if the universe works on a similar principal? We were an insanely dense ball of hydrogen and then BAM! Rapid expansion results in a state of existence for planets, life, galaxies, black holes, everything we know and love. But if scientists are correct, eventually our universe will be pretty much nothing but dark matter. Perhaps then another rapid change will take place as the universe continues to expand. Something I know nothing about, something that may not constitute in our laws of physics at all. But whose to say that fusion existed in the universe previous to the big bang? Perhaps after another high point when our known universe is long gone, there will be another time of relative calm and another form of existence (maybe similar to ours maybe not) will come into being. This is something that just sort of popped into my head yesterday while I was reading up on dark energy. It seems to me that our universe is going through a serious transformation from matter to dark energy. Well I thought that perhaps a different transition had occured right around the Big Bang and that it wasn't the beginning of the universe, just the beginning of the universe that happens to follow our laws of physics and what not. Again, all theoretical. Much more a philosophy than anything else but I would love some serious feedback. Thanks. If life were perfect, what would be the point in living? |
