I was reading an article by someone from New Scientist the other day and he suggested that; well if I can remember rightly; that when things are compressed to as much as they can be, very tightly, then they expand. So this is what the universe could have been. Now this experiment could be done by us on a small scale but not yet as we do not have the capability, but it is not impossible. Imagine if we put together all the minerals, gases etc that make up our universe and pact it tightly on a smaller scale, we could literally create a mini universe.
Now this is the exciting part that has had me thinking for days! Imagine if somewhere, they did do this, they had the capability to do the experiment. What if we are the experiment. What if there are literally billions of these experiments somewhere. I find it very interesting, but if the person who did the experiment was huge, could he just end our universe by emptying us down his sink!?
Anyone have any comments or further thoughts?
