The expanding Universe
Curiously, someone has yet to come forward to explain just what happens when the acceleration of the Universe achieves that rate of atomic interaction commonly referred to as light speed. According to Einstein, anything that attains the speed of light has infinite mass and occupies a place where time stands still. In describing what happens when the Universal expansion achieves this milestone we apply quantum theory to describe the result.
The expansion of the Universe can be described as a wave form, as all things in nature co-exist in resonance and all obeys the laws of quantum physics. This wave cycles from a place of "rest", ie. where time stands still and mass has infinite value, to the beginning of the next cycle, ie. where time stands still, and mass has infinite value. That place is represented by what I llike to call a "black crust" or shell. This is depicted in a
partial cross-section of the Universe below. We place ourselves for the sake of argument after the fourth cycle of the wave of creation has begun.
The result of this behaviour is such that all the matter within this observable Universe will eventually collide with the shell that represents the end of this cycle or that place where time stands still and matter has infinite mass. On the other side of this shell is the next cycle of the creation process, another universe if you will, but actually a part of the same universe of which we will never be a part, beginning from a still frame of reference. The scope of our observable universe is just so immense that the scale of the above graphic representation cannot be described. The end of our Universe will come about when all the matter within our cycle has collided with that black crust and we are left with a great void existing between two shells.
We can then see that the continual process of cosmic generation also occurs in pulses, or quanti of energy, and that this conforms to the principles of quantum physics.
