There is no reason to assume, that the space, that was ..created.. in the BB, would also disappear like the materia.., but there is no much of discussion about this particular issue. Yes, universe is infinite in space and time(materia moving & interacting and just a quantification of it) and possible there is infinite amount of materia. Nevertheless, time has always existed in a ..universal level.., thus different kind of evolutions has been happening for ever. What is happening here on Earth, is not necessary very unique at all.

Anyone positing that the universe (or an entity) can have an "infinite origin" must demonstrate how something can exist without first coming into existence. Do this and you'll be golden. Note that a response such as *_"It just does!"_* is unacceptable. Here are the rules for anything having to do Existence based on the 2nd Law of Existence: Infinite origin with infinite existence = *Not Possible* Infinite origin with finite existence = *Not Possible* Finite origin with infinite existence = *Possible* Finite origin with finite existence = *Possible* This 2nd law eliminates many of the fantastic claims such as Multiverse, Big Bounce, God, Simulation, Many Worlds, and Branes while also allowing everyone to focus their intellectual gifts on the more "tangible" theories.

[@0-by-1_Publishing_LLC]

@SamoaVsEverybody_814 *"You forgot thee most important possibility... Which is that "nothing" isn't one of them"* ... Nonexistence cannot exist by definition. "Nothing" cannot come into existence, nor can "nothing" be infinitely existing by definition. *"f you're gonna claim a first cause, you have to describe "nothing" that came before the first cause."* ... I do not posit a "first cause" scenario, sorry. *"There's no requirement for something to "come into existence" if it always was."* ... You're dodging the question. You need to EXPLAIN how something can exist without first coming into existence. *_"It always was"_* is the same non-answer as *_"I just does."_* *"If the question of "what is nothing" doesn't make sense, then you have to explain while there's something unless you admit the question is just as nonsensical."* I have a v-ide-o that explains everything about "Nothing" and also explains how we can have existence without a "first cause." *"Infinity is thee ONLY answer so far as we know."* ... False dichotomy. *"With a finite universe there is no first cause, in infinity every point has a cause. Which is the prior series of events before the current cause that caused the current effect and so forth. Every cause is a cause and an effect, every effect is an effect and a cause"* ... Everything you've stated is predicated by a claim of "first cause." It is not necessary to have a "first cause." There are other options. *"How can "infinite origin" even be a logical question? There's no requirement for an origin with infinity."* ... Yes there is. That's why you find the number "0" at the beginning of all possible positive numbers and at the beginning of all possible negative numbers. Now, the number "1" did not come from nothing (or "0"), yet it's still there - just like all the other numbers. *"Your issue is always the infinite regress."* ... As should be everyone's issue! *"Thing is is that without timespace there can't be a location within it. Therefore it's not an infinite regress, it's just INFINITY period."* ... You have three negatives in a row. I cannot follow your thought. *"P.S. Explain how Newton's 2nd Law of Motion destroys all theories of infinitely so utterly"* ... I will address that right after you explain how something can exist without first coming into existence (like everything else that we observe).

[@simonhibbs887]

He’s talking about protons decaying into photons, and I think some neutrinos and maybe some muons and such. There would still be some other fundamental particles around like electrons and positrons. Eventually these would become so dispersed that they would be separated from each other by distances greater than the current extent of the observable universe.

I'm not qualified to talk about proton decay, but my guess is it would leave only photons and electrons, eventually separated from each other by such vast distances that they may each be considered to be alone in their own universe. Or maybe not, but it's an interesting thought :)

[@25lighters91]

What is humanities obsession with everything ending ? If the universe for all our humanly purpose never ends would that be a such an outstanding concept to our mortality (and perhaps incur some sort of subconscious envy) ? Another point of 'ending' things on a large scale also seems to be a distinct western ideology I wholly believe is tied to the 'armageddon' dogma of good vs evil, consciousness vs. automation because I don't get the same ending sequence in other cultures

[@bupkaplan]

really interesting points!

[@simonhibbs887]

Plenty of other cultures have believed the cosmos will end in one way or another. The norsemen believe in Ragnarok, the Aztecs believe the world will be destroyed by earthquakes, the Zoroastrians believed in a final judgement, the Hopi throughout the world would end in a series of disasters. Such beliefs are very common. In this case it's simply an extrapolation from known physics, but as he pointed out it's just what seems likely based on what we know now. It's quite possible there may be some effects that lead to a different outcome.

If there's one area where the claim that we know the laws of physics well enough, to a good approximation (as he says at the outset), is clearly and obviously false, it's cosmology. Our leading models of the universe's shape in space-time underwent several major overhauls within living memory. Theoretical physicists have several competing theories that imply drastically divergent predictions about the very far future. Our various measurements of the expansion of the universe are in disagreement with one another. We know very little about theso-called dark matter and dark energy (indeed, so little that there are serious doubts about whether or not they exist at all). In short, extrapolating the ideas that are currently in vogue is a cute intellectual exercise, but nothing more than that. It's pure speculation, really, about as scientific as the Book of Revelations or Douglas Adams' Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Fred seems a little spasmodic in his ability to translate or transfer knowledge. What cosmologists need to do is figure out how the death of the universe can create a new universe. What is clear on this planet (part of the universe) is that life comes from death, and vice versa. This is law. So what is it about the latter part of what we know about the late stages of a universe that causes a new one to begin in such an energetic way? I personally suspect that the information contained within black holes has something to do with it.

I once, very, very long ago, heard about a theory that, upon reaching a point in its expansion, the universe would start to shrink back into a point, until it reverts the big bang. It evn had a name, I forget now, but something like the big crunch or somthing. Of course I'm no astrophysicist or anything, but intuitively that theory looks more logical to me than the universe just fading into isolate particles unable to interact with each other due to distance. But perhaps that's just me willing to believe the universe will remain, even after it ends its cycle, it begins anew, because as a human I like the idea of permanence and continuation and existence. What the gentleman says here is quite simply, to my understanding, the universe reaching the ultimate entropy, so it's quite plausible.
