Contraction of the Universe?

Question

Why are scientist looking for more mater in the universe to try and explain the big crunch.
The universe does not need any mater to contract.
As a mater of fact it would collapse a lot faster if there were no mater.
When mater decays then the universe will slow down and start to contract.
You see the universe is elastic and will revert back to its origonal state before the big bang..
After all its not gravity that made the universe it was the universe that made gravity....What do you think...?

all mater is made of the same stuff that occupies empty space..strings.

the universe can break any laws it desires to break.

does entropy exist inside a black hole does the law of thermodynamics mean anything in a black hole, after all even scientists say mathmatics are meaningless inside a black hole.

good one jaz I think your gettin it.

Answer 1

It is actually interesting that you bring up the subject of "strings". Is this perhaps a clue to a theory for which you subscribe?

If this is the case, then you should also be familiar with the notion that the Universe is neither contracting nor expanding. What we are perceiving as expansion is just our limited view of a part of the Universe that is wavering.

Much in the same sense as jello wavers, or shimmers.

If you subscribe to "superstring theory" it postulates that our Universe is like a giant amoeba-like structure called a membrane. Within this membrane is everything we know, see, and perceive as our Universe.

Outside and next to our Universe is another, or multiple, perhaps infinite amount of membranes coexisting in perhaps some inconceivable material or empty space. Every eon or so two of these membranes collide, sometimes in multiple places. During this collision everything in our Universe and whatever is in the other universe is simultaneously destroyed and recreated. Thereby renewing, rebirthing if you will, both universes.

It is perceivable that this has happened mulitple times in our inconceivable past and will continue to happen in our inconceivable future.

The strings you mention are actually what makes up everything in our universe including matter, energy, and everything in between. Rather than matter consisting of what is the commonplace thinking (atoms and their constituents), they are really energy, and more precisely, vibrating energy resembling strings.

Very fascinating theory. If anyone is interested in more, Google Superstring Theory, or go here:

Answer 2

she is right, the universe cannot revert back to its true original state because entropy cannot decrease. and when you say the universe will break any laws it desires to break, is that true? are you sure you arent just trying to imagine the rules bending to try and explain this theory? it doesnt work. the universe may contract, but it wouldnt be exactly the same. of course it would collapse faster if there was no matter.... there wouldnt be anything that needed to contract. the universe isnt elastic. that would require a substance. space is not a substance. it is space. vacuum.

gravity didnt make the universe, but the universe doesnt make gravity. it has a gravitational field like any other thing that has matter in it, but gravity was there before the universe exploded. dark energy made the universe explode.

Answer 3

It is very difficulot to scientifically determine what the real outcome of the Universe will ultimately be,except is up to our Creator who created the Universe.
The Universe according to Einstein is a finite entity.
If the Universe was created as a finite entity then it must have constricted contrains at its boundary in order for the Gravitational phenomenon to exist and to cause all motion of mass structures in the Universe.
A Galaxies expands or contracts relative to the radius vector of the Universe.
as a Galaxy gains mass it radius vector expand in the containment volume of the Universe.
If a Galaxy lose more mass that it Gains , it radius vector decreases.
Hence we have a scenario of both expansion and contraction all at the same time. This occurs in order to maintairn the Structural energy Equilbrium of the Universe.
The volume of the Universe remains the same containment.
A little secret =The universe IS the Black hole.

Answer 4

The universe can't revert back to its original state during the big crunch because entropy cannot decrease. It's against the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Answer 5

The matter you are referring to is dark matter. A theoretical form of matter that would explain why the outer-reaches of a galaxy can orbit its center just as fast as the innermost region. Dark matter would also be the gravitational link between distant galaxies to allow for the big crunch theory to be possible. You can't make gravity. Gravity is an invisible force that all forms of matter have and one of which scientists cannot explain.

Answer 6

I'm more concerned about the entire universe being swallowed by a huge mutant space goat.

Besides, the universe is getting bigger, faster and faster.
But some of it is slipping away, unaccountably. Haven't you noticed how easy it is to lose a sock or a biro ? This could also be rersponsible for the disappearance of the dinosaurs, LED digital watches and white dog poo.

Answer 7

When the universe begins to contract what would stop the speed of the contraction from exceeding the speed of light? I think the contraction could speed exponentially all the way back to a singularity and the explode in a big bang again-over and over forever.

Answer 8

Actually, for scientists to prove the Big Crunch, they need the Universe's expansion to show signs of slowing down. You do have an interesting idea, but its based on incorrect fundamentals.

Answer 9

It's generally suspected gravity made the universe. The contracting of the singulairty until natural fusion was generated.

Answer 10

what do you mean when you say matter will decay so the universe will slow down, etc?

what about the law of conservation of matter? where would that matter go? it can't leave the universe (as far as anyone knows).
