In response to the chicken topic, I guess this is an appropriate time to start a little ramble about the universe's birth and fate.
Please, keep all posts purely logical. If you think a supreme being exists, say why in a stoic fashion.
Anyways, a while back a friend and I made up a theory about the universe. Okay so it was mostly just me rambling to him(no I don't get high).
There are more than these two, but two opposing views about the fate of the universe is that it will either collapse into it's original state of being a singularity, or everything will cancel each other out resulting in harmonious oblivion.
Here is an outline of what I came up with.
Step 1) Let's consider the possibility of universal harmony.
Due to the existance of statistical randomness, the universe probably isn't currently harmonious.
Thus, let's use a scale for a mental picture. An empty, legit scale represents harmony. Because of chaos, imagine one pan weighs more than the other, causing the scale to tip. Let's call this the universe's "normal" state. Imagine a force causes the lighter pan to lower, thus causing the heavier pan to rise. This is on Earth though, so of course the scale will return to its "normal" state. From the evidence provided by the mental picture, we reject the statement that the universe will end in oblivion.
(God, I'm just beyond bored now. I don't feel like finishing this anymore :lol: Oh well.)
Sorrryyy for cutting this so short, I'm in class right now and it's time to jet. Later!
