Current Events » So if the universe is expanding and we will eventually have heat death
Will it come to a point where the universe starts to contract back into a singularity?

Does this then reset the universe? Has this been going on for trillions of years?
I'm still confident we have no clue what the universe really is, how it was created, and how it will end.
This is where cool people write stuff.
The true multiverse, just constantly resetting every trillion years, throwing out every possible probability for eternity.
This is why you get deja vu.

There's no need for the universe to reset. It can just entirely go to nothing.

I've had this theory. I imagine it's like a hourglass. We are currently filling the void. The method for contraction I haven't figured out yet

These are two different things, Heat Death and the Big Crunch


Right but has then been going on for many cycles?
Apparently some scientists think a new universe could arise even with heat death. If everything came from nothing before, it could happen again. But really nobody really for sure knows. We probably will never understand the mechanics of the end of the universe. And humans will likely be long extinct by the time it happens anyway

do we even know if we're even the first universe to exist? how many times have we reset?

The whole point of the heat death of the universe is that no work can be done and therefore no change can be made. If it was truly heat dead, it wouldn't contract.

Futurama covered this and it comes back but about 10 feet lower I think.
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.
Heat death seems so finite.
I thought heat death meant that everything in the universe can no longer sustain itself at an atomic level and just dies.

It expands until size becomes a meaningless measurement, making another singularity form from a quantum fluctuation.

It keeps expanding until molecules also expand, and then everything keeps expanding until there's nothing left to expand and everything just poofs out of existence.

We suffer from the delusion that the entire universe is held in order by the categories of human thought.

I don't think we even reset, I think we're just one bubble amongst an infinite amount of other bubbles

We don't know. But there's no particular observed reason the space wouldn't just pointlessly expand forever.

Space doesn't rely on heat tho.

Oh? Explain pl0x
It keeps expanding well after heat death which means theres nothing but the laws of physics in all directions essentially infinitely forever. So then size/time isnt a meaningful question.

Then a vacuum fluctuation which is a spontaneously change of energy that pops in and out of existence and happens in quantum physics occurs close enough to trigger a singularity that bangs again.

Heat Death of the universe is just a prediction based on current observations. There's no reason to believe the universe will continue to expand indefinitely. Just that if it did, we'd eventually get the heat death of the universe.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

It is expanding because we are stuck in a black hole without realizing it.

Even if it did, it would cease to be within our understanding and predictions of what would occur. Were still discovering elements and struggling with quantum physics, to assume we would even be able to comprehend the universe after such an event is arrogance. Not you personally, its more of a broad statement. I liked your post.
No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different.

Even if the universe didn't expand in any way, we'd still get heat death. Unless we find out that the laws of thermodynamics, which are more ironclad than basically any other natural law you can think of, can be broken, it's still happening.

Running out of RAM is what causes a black hole. Heat death is 0% battery. >_>

Very interesting
My theory is that gravity is constantly pulling on everything, and eventually the force of gravity will bring the universe back together.

The weird thing about gravity, to me, is that it's a force that doesn't seem to require any energy. So even when the universe is 'out' of energy, there will still be gravity to pull it all back together and start all over from a tiny singularity or whatever.

I'm not a physicist, I don't know the details, but that's what I believe. I don't think there will ever be a permanent end to the universe.

It does not "require" energy but it will eventually reach a state of equilibrium where things pulling on each other just cancel out.

I don't think that's going to happen, personally. Our best predictive mathematicians and physicists and shit can't even conclusively solve the "Three Body Problem," so I don't really trust a prediction which is essentially the "infinite body problem," if such a thing exists.

No. Our current understanding of cosmology is that the universe will expand for basically forever to the point where the faint remains of particles are all countless light-years apart at their closest.

And then to state my belief, which does have some physicist support, is that untold eons afterwards there'll be quantum fluctuations that cause a new big bang. We are essentially the googolplexth iterarion of the universe, with each iterarion lasting a googolplex years, significantly rounding down on both numbers.

A good visual cue:

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

In other words the universe stabilizes. Maybe the universe won't ever reach hear death or collapse once it becomes stable. Maybe us making gravy drives will fuck with the natural order of the universe or something.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened

A big crunch would kind of violate the 2nd law. Entropy can't decrease.

Heat death is probably inevitable. An incomprehensible amount of time after heat death, another universe should pop up. After an even more incomprehensible amount of not only time, but new universes, an exact copy of this universe should technically pop up. This would happen infinitely over infinite time.

So the universe stabilizing brings about destruction?

nothing is destroyed. The universe just has no more energy left. All the matter is still there it just doesn't move.

Well I would think there is a difference between stagnant and stable though. Stabilization isn't stagnation. Things will still be moving, the universe just won't be expanding. But I think it will expand eternally it will just be at such a slow pace it may seem stagnant. Kind of like that effect that makes water look solid. New suns will always be created and new worlds will be eternally formed. Then maybe, maybe, one day the universe will contract until it explodes again, renewing materials and worlds and suns in a endless cycle of life. It's possible that we are in the first cycle or we could be in the bajillions.

If there's no sound in space there was no big bang.

heat death just means the universe becomes inert because all the chemical reactions are exhausted due to entropy. eventually there will be no more new suns created.
