Hey Everyone,
As many are well aware, the best working theory of the origin of the universe held by cosmologists and indeed nearly the entire scientific community is that approximately 13.5-14 billion years ago, an almost zero dimensional point violently exploded, ejecting unfathomably large amounts of matter, anti-matter, radiation, energy and so forth that would go on to form in to the universe we know of today.
This theory is very harmonious with the core Law of One principle, that all is one (the point that exploded). Or at least at one point, all was indeed one. The explosion is perhaps the point at which the creator decided to experience and learn more about itself, fragmenting or shooting sparks of itself out to become manifested matter. (May be that there are multiple big bangs happening simultaneously that we are unaware of- I'll leave that idea to the side for now)
Steven Hawking and others have speculated that as the universe was started, so shall it end. 'The Big Crunch' theory is that at some specific point in time, the force of the big bang explosion will have itself run out of energy and begin to slowly fall back on itself. Imagine tossing an apple in to the air, seeing it reach an apex and then fall back to earth. In that fashion, all matter will condense and collapse in to a singularity once again, similar to how a black hole collapses matter.
This is also elegant and suits TLOO well- it would be the creator deciding that it has played enough and the time has come to absorb all of what it has learned in to itself once again. We might speculate that this could also be the end of the octave. Since we have heard of many octaves that spread out in to infinity, I see no reason why another big bang wouldn't then happen again, spreading out for billions of years, falling back in to itself and creating a cycle, much as the heart beats or the Brahman breathes.
There has been new information in cosmology that seems to disrupt this idea however- and it is due to something known as dark energy. In short, it's a mysterious, more or less not understood force in the universe that is actually accelerating the expansion the universe as it ages, so that galaxies are moving apart faster and faster. With this model a big crunch would never happen. It has even been said that at some point in our vast future no stars will even be visible outside of our own milkyway, since they would be traveling away from us faster than the light they emit could travel to us.
There are also additional theories brought on by string theory that I'll bring up if this thread gets some interest / traction. For the meanwhile, I'd love to hear what you think!
