physics bros, do you think this could really happen? seems so strange for the universe to just start and end and that's it, nothing bangs again, it's just perfectly cold forever. everything gets erased, everything forgotten. eternal oblivion. wtf was that? why did it start?

people tend to 'round it off' with God existing before and after or something like Nietzschean eternal recurrence. it makes sense to me that things would ultimately be in some kind of balance in a cycle, rather than flashing into existence and destroying themselves linearly one time. but I was an English major, I know dick about fuck
