@@ildar5184 I guess the thing would be that galaxies stop accelerating away from us, giving us more of a chance to contact them, rather than waiting until they start accelerating towards us to reduce the distance. Assuming FTL travel is impossible, and that near-light travel is too unfeasibly difficult, we'd just need more time to be able to reach other galaxies.

[@bewilderbeestie]

You forgot a bit regarding the Big Freeze: just because everything's at a thermodynamic equilibrium, quantum effects still apply. You still get virtual particles appearing and disappearing. The more complex the particle, the lower the probability, but the probability never becomes zero --- which means that if you wait long enough, macroscopic objects start appearing out of the vacuum. You have to wait really ridiculous lengths of time before anything interesting appears, but nothing's happening; you literally have an infinite amount of time available. Objects of the same complexity as a human start appearing every 10^10^50 years (yes, that's 10 to the power of 10^50); go look up the Boltzmann Brain concept if you want to have trouble sleeping. But it gets even weirder. Particles with enough energy to form a new monobloc, that is, a new Big Bang causing a universe appear every 10^10^10^56 years. As there are only about 10^10^115 possible universes, almost immediately (on these timescales!) you reach a point where _every single possible universe_ has been created. And each one of those expands, reaches its own Big Freeze, and starts spawning universes of its own...

[@smallw2003]

You are discussing 10^10^115 possible distinguished sets of laws of physics I think. If the universe is infinite, there are infinite possibilities. The poincare recurrence time for our projected finite universe size though is 10^10^10^10^10^122 years if anyone was wondering

[@DanBeech-ht7sw]

People have always sought for a kind of neat answer, geocentrism, heliocentric, steady state, oscillating universe. We are always confounded by the reality. Professor Weinberg showed that any successive bounces would have ever increasing proportions of matter to energy, resulting in slower, more sticky expansions. That matter would be left over from the previous crunch. Now the proportion of matter to energy in the Big Bang appears to be 0:100 at time 0, which means that IF we lived in an oscillating universe, this is the first expansion. There was no previous crunch. Which creates a science and philosophical problem, what happened before, if "before " has any meaning.

Infinity could go both ways, so if what you are saying was true, the probability of atoms rearranging before and us remembering that, would be possible.

[@bugsbunny8691]

Seeing as how the expansion of the universe is accelarating, the end of the universe is approaching exponentionally and except for maybe some bizzare warning signs, will likely not be seen coming, kind of like a surprise party.

You can't say the universe is accelerating because you don't know what the Universe is to begin with.

[@relativityboy]

A funky thought, As you transition past the event horizon of a black-hole, "toward the singularity" becomes a timeline, rather than a physical place. We do have an event horizon in our universe, just past what we think of as the big bang. What if the expansion is just us falling toward the center of this universe's singularity? And.. if expansion is increasing, perhaps there's an asymptotic function for the external-universe's (the universe outside ours) distance-traveled per unit time of whatever makes up "us" (if such a thing could be said to exist)... we experience more time the closer we get to the center... hm.

I am currently in the Dunning-Kruger effect's Valley of Despair. I don't know if I will ever be intelligent enough to understand entropy and heat death - it probably doesn't help that I have a bottle of wine behind me - but thanks for trying to explain it as best you can. Liked and subscribed!

Your definition of the big bounce was essentially "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" which is the cycle of a four-stroke engine. My only conclusion is our universe is powering a cosmic engine on unimaginable time scales not unlike Rick Sanchez's car.

[@iamtrent2249]

Yes a 4 stroke engine is what we all thought you were talking about......

I think the universe experiences heat death and then eons of very little happening until the slow squeeze and subsequent big bang again, over and over.

A big crunch leading to a big bounce feels poetic. The universe we've been given doesn't seem to care much for poetry, but it'd be nice to have a future where it becomes something better. Pressure makes diamonds and all that.

[@Rileylego-fq6wc]

The big crunch makes the most sense. I mean, what goes up must come down. So if the universe is expanding thats just it "going up" in all directions. Then eventually once it hits the peak of the arc it all "goes down" in on itself. You can send the nobel peace prize to me in the mail.

[@mikedeacon472]

What blows my mind more than anything is - why is there anything to begin with 🤯. We can only really contemplate things that begin and end. How did stuff come from nothing... and what even is nothing... and if there was always something, how did it get there? Great video by the way 🙂

[@erikbosma8765]

Even worse,,, why is there nothing to begin with?

[@MaidenLoaf]

What'll really boggle your noodle is, why should we assume there was a beginning? That would be placing a finite limit on an infinite timeline. In a similar way, asking "how did it get there?" if there is no beginning is really asking the same question in different words, because the point at which it all "got there" is, by definition, the beginning.

[@CARBON10]

It has always been here and will never end, your comment is dam amusing I have to say, it does not end ever, there is a strange book telling this never ending story, and even though it's hard to follow and it's full of absolutely the craziest stuff imaginable, aliens, monsters, magic ,and even humans, it could be the truth, so it does go on forever

knowing the truth is still always nice, right? id rather knkow than not know. maybe finding out leads us to a way to somehow send a probe at just the right moment to somehow escape whatever happens, allowing humanity to leave a remnant of our several billion year existence into the stars try not to be so shortsighted. we're all members of the human race, a global species with the potential to colonize solar systems, or even galaxies. i tend to think this shortsighted "it doesnt affect me so i dont care" mentality is reponsible for so much suffering

[@MARIOMAKER-wk8vy]

​​@@aceyboyYes, but you and I would be too dead to care about existing if we don't, and if everything is truly random, odds are if we do exist again, we won't remember existing in this life. The only thing that we can (and should, for that matter) care about is what we will do in this life, for we have no 100% certain answer of what we will do (or be able to do) in the next plane of existence.

Roughly speaking, our universe goes through 4 stages or cycles and then everything starts again from the beginning... The 4 main cycles: 1. Infant universe - 2. Expanding universe - 3. Contracting universe - 4. End cycle = collapse of matter To claim that the universe will one day "die" completely is, in my opinion, adventurous. I assume that these 4 cycles of existence repeat themselves again and again and represent, so to speak, an endless, eternal process... ⚖ When I look at the almost perfect functioning of our universe, I come to the conclusion that the universe has already gone through several complete cycles of existence. If we analyze the current evolution phase, it´s simply too well organized and advanced...
