There is a growing strength in the Omega 1 universe. What
this means, is that we are able to observe entropy in this
section of the universe, where there may be more universe that is
to us unobservable where entropy is reversed.
An excellent example of this would be a black hole, where
inhabitants would be incapable of observing our section of the
universe.
BTW, Omega is a variable that describes the ratio between
the rate at which the universe is expanding, and the amount of
matter which slows it down.
Omega < 1 . . . The universe expands forever
Omega > 1 . . . The universe recycles ( Taoist, etc. )
Omega = 1 . . . Unseen matter.
Another strong theory is that the universe is continuous.
That is, has no smallest element or particle. The probability for
particles being randomly created can be partially explained in
terms of metastability, where the spacetime continuum is caught
between detectable states indefinitely.
Quantum Mechanics states that there are stable states
which spacetime tends to seek.
Personally, I favor the continuous, omega = 1, universe.
I believe it to have the highest probability of being true.
How does it feel to be part of a continuous function?
