Kashi Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Damn, I said it was more of a philosophical question than an astronomical one. Like I care if the Universe is actually physically shrinking? It's the deeper meaning ... My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionheart_0 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Damn, I said it was more of a philosophical question than an astronomical one. Like I care if the Universe is actually physically shrinking? It's the deeper meaning ... I think I understand what you mean. In the end it all doesn't matter right? Personally, I go the ignorance is bliss route and even though I know there will be an end, I ignore that and just live. It makes me happier. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Hi9im8Here7 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If you believe in the osculating universe theory then it would be theoretically possible that when the universe finally shrinks back into nothing another big bang will happen and the whole sequence would happen again, exactly the same as before. And it would do this again, and again, forever. :shock: Human history would also repeat itself exactly. Whoever you'd find in one life of the universe you'd find in another. In fact it's kind of depressing, knowing that all you're doing is playing out a script that's been set in stone for infinity and that you can't do anything about it. In theory a way to stop it could be out there, but, if humans didn't find it in the previous universes then there's no way we'd find them now (assuming that those previous universes once existed. If they didn't it just might be possible :D ) Did time really start a set number of years ago? Or did it exist before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscillating universe theory states that the universe will begin again, not that life will. Or, if life will begin again, it doesn't have to be the same as it is now. Oscillating universe theory refers to cosmology, it is not specific. La lune ne garde aucune rancune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancy myself the Latter lol Thats why ignorance is good some times, we can slip past the negative things while still keeping the realization in our heads some times. As for the latter.... errr ya just don't over do it :-s Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

fakeitormakeit Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm pretty sure that we'll kill ourselves with war before an apocalyptic event strong enough to wipe out mankind will occur, including the sun burning out, black holes, the shrinking of which you speak.
