Thanks Pat.
That photons are left at heat death is something I didn't know. That alone kills the theory.
Yes, string theory seems the go. I like the notion that at the end of the big crunch there still exist something in string form. The idea of the crunch down to the one dimensional plank length string, is that your idea or is it a current theory? If a current theory is there any info on it anywhere, I would like to get a handle on it. Thanks.
Will.

That time stops at the speed of light or its opposite in a black hole, only means while in that state it stops for that entity. Slow down the photon, or release it from the black hole and time starts again for that entity.
The heat death you talk about only means that all that will be left is photons. The photons will keep on existing.
My thought is that everything is made up of stings, and that we have a cyclic ( yes eternal ) universe. That when the big crunch occurs everything gets crunched down to a 1 dimensional Planck length string and when that happens since you can't crunch further BANG you start over again. This says our universe is created but eternal. No steady state.
