/sci/ - Science & Math

There are two things that blow my mind about the Universe OP; one's pretty scientific and the other's mostly conjecture but could make sense until proven wrong.


The first is that, due to space expanding ever outwards due to whatever is causing it, from your perspective you are the center of the universe. This is because all points are expanding from all other points at a constant rate, giving you the perspective of being a constant (a.k.a. center) in the universe.

The second is that due to the conservation of matter and energy, neither one can be created nor destroyed. Thus, whenever entropy finally takes hold of the entirety of existence and crushes us all down and into the infinitesimal point at the end of the universe, everything would start again. Though since all the same materials would be involved, the new universe would most likely be very similar to what we have now, and I wonder why it is and what may change in the next go-around...
