this is pretty badass and makes sense to me: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4974134.stm. Nature has a beautiful tendency to be cyclic, even from the largest stars to molecules vibrating in free space.
I know nothing about astrohpysics, but it would be interesting if, over time, as black holes consume all physcial matter, there comes an end point where the physical/visible universe becomes completely consumed by black holes (light and everything), and in that moment, the universe collapses on itself and arises again in the form of another big bang. But we would have to ignore the fundamental acceleration of the expansion of the universe by dark energy... or would we? If the universe is entierly dark energy/dark matter, what happens then?
Another thought is that if the universe eventually only becomes made up of black holes over time, perhaps they will eventually drift toward each other due to gravity, and once they have amassed the mass of the universe, they explode in another big bang.
But i'm totally talking out of my ass here. ;0P
the real question is where did the universe come from? The G man? I doubt it... probably that unifying force thingy, or perhaps another dimension - ooo that would be cool if we could devise a way to travel to another dimensions like in Sliders. That show was pretty cool. But the universe started from somewhere... maybe a cosmic wombat burped in space.
