This is what I believe :
The Universe came into existence 13.72 billion years ago after a chemical - or to be more accurate - a quantum expansion commonly known as the Big Bang. Before that nothing existed. No space. No light. No time. Nothing. The Universe is all there is. Nothing exists outside of it. No one knows what actually happened before the Big Bang. However it is possible that it is in a constant state of expansion and contraction and that the current one that now exists is merely the latest manifestation in a continuation. There are three ways in which it may end. It may simply reach a natural state of equilibrium after expansion and revert to the beginning of another. It may contract and return to it's original quantum state. It may expand eternally whereupon all life will cease to exist as temperatures reach virtual absolute zero. Whatever actually does happen, the Earth will cease to be after 5 billion years when the Sun implodes and takes all the inner planets with it. So unless Man can develop commercialised space travel or / and discover habitable worlds that will be the end of Homo Sapiens.

A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
