That is the laws of physics and chemistry working on the matter in the universe (I found out the other day that they've figured out down to a very small fraction of a second what happened right after the big bang. Isn't that neat?).I've heard on several occasions that the new evidence shows that the big bang is thought to actually expanding still rather than shrinking as it was thought before. AND the speed of the expansion is increasing at an exponential rate.
And apparently this means that in not too long a time (I'm not sure how long but this is what was said, paraphrased by me) there will be no evidence that the big bang ever occurred and nothing to measure anymore.
Tragic really.
Christopher Hitchens has talked about this. And I believe it was Lawrence Lawrence Krauss who did the calculations. If I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure thats what I heard.
