that doesn't mean that the big bang never happened, it just gives it a different context. my guess would be that the universe is decelerating and therefore expanding, i don't think it will be contracting again though.
Can i say one of my theorys? But its gonna be a it long, and, complex.. Lets begin...
How do a human body work? It has to have microbiological beings inside of you, and still, have to get a flow of some matter in your ways and streets in your body. And so, theres diferences betwen the good micro's and the bad ones, they can be good, or bad like a virus is diferent from the leukocytes.
The microbiological parts can be anything, wich may be even red blood cells.
The flow inside of you are veins in human body.
The good parts are red cells, or necessary (good), necessary (but bad, like some bacteries) and the bad (unecessary) are the virus.
They all power-up our organs, wich includes heart and blatter.
So, in my theory (lets see if you guys can imagine-up what i do) we're red blood cells, in some little veins, wich power-up organs. Wich makes part of a human.
So, we're red blood cells (peoples), in some body veins (milkway) powering up some organ (heart, you'ill get later) in some body.
Why heart? Our universe its likely to contract, and expand, and then, contract again. From our perspectives, it goes so slowly that we cant even fell, but, isnt it the same from microbios inside of your body?
My final theory takes me to some point: We can be already almost fully extinguish, and im talking about whole humanity, and not just Earth. What i think is that our universe is a mechanical interpretation in state-of-art of a human body, letting the parts (descendants) who live discover all the problems, and find out some resolution so the human-kind can stiill live.
There can be alot of dimension, each one, being part of an organ. We all live in the same, but there may be some other civilizations that like in the blatter or any other organ...
The human body has to keep living, so, that way we can try and figure out what happened to human-king and make it survive in any way.
In-short: we're not an emulation, we're just living in a "black safety box" from the whole human-kind.
Im sorry about my really poor english, im a Brazilian lol...
BTW: registered here just to show my ol' theory lol
Seeya all guys!
