If the universe cannot exist infinitely then neither can the super hero.
If I am not correct, and please correct me, science has yet to say something vs nothing, but from what I get from Lawrence Krauss is that coming out of nothing is possible. Am I correct about that so far?
Secondly. after all I have read over the years about something vs nothing, finite vs infinite, my take on it is that they are not mutually exclusive.
I am seeing the universe as almost the same as the atmosphere of our planet, a season starts, then it ends, another starts then ends, ect then the cycle repeats.
So mentally I am thinking "all this" can be forever and does avoid the bullshit problem of a super hero cognition factory boss which causes the problem with infinite regress, but more like an oscillation from off to on, energy gets spent to decay to off, the decay collapses to a dense spot, BOOM another big bang.
Like a light switch is off for a while, gets turned on for a while, light bulb burns out, collapses to off, till a qm twitch and booms back to on again?
Am I even close here? My point is that cycle can be forever and the finite parts are off and on fluctuation between?
I changed my mind Mr Brewer, I now believe in reincarnation, you were in a prior life one of the morons on Easter Island who said when others were saying to you "Dude, we are over populated", you "Who gives a fuck".
Idiot. Take care of yourself Han, I guess that is what you are best at.
Your hypothesis is interesting and feasible on its own merit. If you compare the scale of the universe in terms of the ratio of matter to empty space between the matter, the universe is very much like a galaxy or a star or an atom. So it’s possible that eventually our expanding universe will grow to the size where its outer layers start collapsing and we reach that singularity known as the big bang.
We say nothing can escape a black hole. But think about it. What do you think would happen if you had a pressure cooker with no little hole in the top? The pressure would keep building until the whole thing exploded like an egg in a microwave (don’t try that unless you’re ready to do some serious cleaning up and you really weren’t planning on earing the egg.)
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
