-
what was there before the big bang?
-
well, you see
-
there was no before
-
because before the big bang
-
time did not exist
-
Time is
-
a result of the expansion
-
of the universe itself
-
but what will happen
-
when the universe has finished
-
expanding
-
and the movement is reversed?
-
What will be the nature of time?
-
If string theory is correct
-
the universe possesses
-
nine spatial dimensions
-
and one temporal dimension
-
we can imagine that in the beginning
-
all the dimensions were twisted together
-
during the big bang
-
three spatial dimensions
-
the one that we know
-
is height width and depth
-
and one temporal dimension
-
what we know is time
-
redeployed
-
The other six remained minuscule
-
one and together
-
If we are living in a universe of
-
one dimension
-
How we distinguish between
-
illusion and reality?
-
Time as we know it
-
is a dimension we experience
-
only in one direction
-
but what about the addition
-
of others dimensions
-
was not special
-
the temporal
-
if you mix the mashed potatoes
-
and sauce
-
you can't separate
-
them later
-
It's forever
-
The smoke comes out
-
the daddy's cigarette
-
but it's never going back in
-
We cannot going back
-
That's why it's hard to choose
-
You have to make the right choice
-
As soon as you don't choose
-
everything remains possible
-
Why does cigarette smoke
-
never go back into the cigarette?
-
Why do molecules
-
spread away from each other?
-
Why does the drop of ink
-
never reform?
-
Because the universe
-
moves towards
-
a state of dissipation
-
That is the principle of entropy
-
the tendency of the universe
-
to evolve to a state
-
of increasing disorder
-
The principle of entropy
-
is related
-
to the arrow of time
-
A result of the expansion
-
of the universe
-
but what will happen
-
in gravitation or forces
-
cannot balance
-
the forces of expansion?
-
Or if energy of the quantum void
-
proves to weak?
-
At that moment
-
the universe might enter
-
in a phase of contraction
-
the big crunch!
-
So what becomes of time?
-
Will it reverse?
-
No one knows the answer!
