New Universes Will be Born from Ours

Posted by Zonk on from the crisis-on-infinite-earths dept.

David Shiga writes "What gruesome fate awaits our universe? Some physicists have argued that it is doomed to be ripped apart by runaway dark energy, while others think it is bouncing through an endless series of big bangs and big crunches. Now, scientists have combined these two ideas to create another option, in which our universe ultimately shatters into billions of pieces. Each shard would then subsequently grow into a whole new universe. The model could solve the mystery of why our early universe was surprisingly well ordered."

    The universe is no longer in a steady state! Our use of cars and oil have unbalanced the delicate system and not only are we destroying the planet, we are causing the universe to come apart at the seams. We must stop using oil, cars, energy, and anything else we invent and let the universe heal itself.

    Sound crazy?

    No more crazy than global warming
