Cosmological model rivals Big Bang theory

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. physicists have constructed a cosmological model that suggests the universe can endlessly expand and contract.

That cyclic model -- developed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by Professor Paul Frampton and graduate student Lauris Baum -- has four key parts: expansion, turnaround, contraction and bounce.

During expansion, dark energy -- the force causing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate -- pushes until all matter fragments into patches so far apart nothing can bridge the gaps. Everything from black holes to atoms disintegrates. That, a fraction of a second before the end of time, is the turnaround.

At the turnaround, each fragmented patch collapses and contracts individually instead of pulling back together in a reversal of the Big Bang. The patches become an infinite number of independent universes, contracting and then bouncing outward again, reinflating in a manner similar to the Big Bang. One patch becomes our universe.

Ya know - there is no god, no after-life, no way to save our species as the universe is playing fucking yo-yo with everything....So I say party on and live like it was the end. Screwn I tell ya, that's what our future generation are. So let's spoil and plunder the world and enjoy it!

1. Every body complains about the universe but nobody does anything about it.

As if we pipsqueeks had any say in the process - whatever it is.

2. A new order of infinity?

If their theory is correct, we should already have an infinite number of universes (which is a goofy oxymoron, rendering the very -definition- of 'universe' meaningless.)

Might as well revert to the very old proposition that our universe is just an "electron" of an atom in a really BIG 'universe' (and every electron in OURS is another small universe in its own right)...

Bla Bla Bla...

3. The cosmological model is whatever you think it is

There is no god, no absolute, no firmament except your own awareness.

People in early spiritual evolution project it outside of themselves,
but a spiritual warrior turns the blade inside themself against ego, sloth and laziness,
that truth and vigiliance are the basis of life, no matter what the latest story about
the heavens, thor, ursa major, dracos indubitably.
