I think we need to be careful when we say unquestionably that energy and mass cannot be created or destroyed. After all we know that E=M•C² and every energy unit corresponds to the mass M=E/C².

We must remember that the theory of expansion came from Christian Doppler after his discovery that the universe was expanding. The cause for the expansion however has not been verified to this day. We can visualise the expansion like a loaf of current bread being baked in an oven. With the currents being galaxies. As the bread bakes it expands. This expansion has been seriously troubling me, I just cannot make my equations fit. Just like many other theories, everything falls apart at the singularity. There are two theories however that can take us past the point of the singularity.

1) M-theory
I don’t like this theory, it states that the universe was born from a collision of membranes, two parallel universes collided thus creating the great squeeze. The theory definitely fits the facts, my problem with this theory though is that 8 extra dimensions have been added to our 3. I fear that the reason some physicists have added extra dimensions is because they could not get their equations to fit with just 3. Adding extra dimensions may have got them out of a fix but being able to prove these dimensions exist may prove to be impossible. That which cannot be proven will always remain theory.

2) A unique theory that I am trying to unravel, with which I could use some help.
A unique theory, which I have come up with, came about when I was thinking about why the universe was expanding. The reason for expansion is the key. Expansion need not mean a big bang. The reason I have come up with this theory is simple, we know the universe is not just expanding its accelerating. I asked my self why, and came up with the theory that the universe could actually be unravelling. Imagine you have in your hand an elastic band, and you roll this band up into a ball, when you open your hands the band will accelerate until its expansion is complete. Using this idea and the fact that symmetry and gravity are prevalent in our universe it is possible to take the theory past the singularity.

A Quote:

There is something odd about scientific endeavour: often enough, it’s most important to see where there is no need for a concerted effort. On the other hand, it would be wrong to pursue goals just because they are easy. We need to develop an instinct about just how far we can get if we really try as hard as we can.
