Tarantism Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 the universe consists of all the matter around us, everything that is anything and all that jazz, correct? so what i want to know is, what would happen (cosmically speaking that is) if the universe just ended? i think that someone told me once that everything just whittles down to nothing and then resets itself... what? what does that mean? is it false? is there more to it?B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockytriton Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 who knows? it's all theory, nobody knows what is true or false, we can only speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantism Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 who knows? it's all theory, nobody knows what is true or false, we can only speculate. yes, i know what you mean, i was just curious what theory(s) is there? i thought about it for a long while, and all that i could come up with is blank. nothing. that is what it would be right? ha. its just strange.B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockytriton Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I have a feeling that if we traveled to the end of the universe, where it ends we would find the glass side of a very large aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HydrogenBond Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If we look at the universe it is composed of tiny subparticles arranged into higher and higher orders of structure. The end of the universe would imply the end of the tiny subparticles. The answer to your orginal question has to do with the formation of the tiny subparticles. The way one forms these subparticles from ?, will determine what preceeded them, and therefore the state of the beginning and end of the universe.

The big question is, are there really particles at all? Maybe everything is energy waves (strings) manifested as observable instances.

Tarantism Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 The big question is, are there really particles at all? Maybe everything is energy waves (strings) manifested as observable instances. well, the particles definatley exist, becuase we can see them through pretty much any high-powered microscope. But i think that the question we should be asking in order to answer the "big question" mentioned in the title is this: what came before the particles? what came before matter? anti-matter? negative? fajita steak?

Chaos13 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Can one speculate that nothing came before particles, matter, anti-matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantism Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Can one speculate that nothing came before particles, matter, anti-matter?of course you can, something HAD to be there, right? otherwise it could be just vaccum, or just nothing at all. hm.

Tarantism Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 There is no such thing as nothing. yep. that is exactly why i stareted this forum, to try to figure out or rather discuss what came BEFORE matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 nobody knows. i doubt anybody ever will know.now, there are about 7 billion opinions that could all flood into this thread and drown us.but there won't.just a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drip Curl Magic Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 well, the particles definatley exist, becuase we can see them through pretty much any high-powered microscope That doesn't necessarily mean it exists.... it just means that our minds are allowing it to exist... It's just perception. Reality is created by mind. Who knows what exists and what doesn't exist? Quantum thoery, dude... quantum thoery. there is this movie you should watch.... it's called "what the bleep do we know?" It explains quantum mechanics and such... that movie really changed the way I look at things. I realize now that all that I know is what I observe... but who's to say that what I observe has any sort of substance or truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
