Ah, right. Sorry, I forgot about that.
Anyways, What do you guys think about that bouncing theory?
From what I know, that theory was thought up because of the one major problem of the original big bang theory. The problem of course being causality. What caused the big bang?
The bouncing theory eliminates that problem by stating that there was no cause, our universe has simply, always existed. It's just in an endless cycle of expanding and contracting, as explained in the video.
I find this really fascinating because of the concept of infinity. How could something exist forever without having started anywhere? How do you wrap your head around something like that? lol.
It's kinda like the "What came first? The chicken or the egg?" question.
Well... that's causality again, right? The egg, is the result of the chicken, and the chicken is the result of the egg. So where does it begin when the effect is also a cause of a new cause?
