ity was supposed to stop the expansion and then suck it back together over a gazillion years but it's actually increasing. So what happens if all the matter in the universe continues for trillions of years to expand? All right think of it in terms of not energy but in terms of the odds right? Remember because energy is really just another way of saying the odds. Wherever there's the most energy t…

If one particle changed in the singularity and that was all it took to blow it up you would call that a god particle would you? Just something that happened that shouldn't have happened and nobody can explain it. One particle got out of whack and boom, universe.
Now as soon as the universe is big you go from no possibility when it's a singularity to lots of possibilities. There might be aliens on other planets. We might be inventing fusion. Lots and lots of possibilities. But now let's play it in a few more trillion years. In a few trillion years will there be more energy in any given part of the universe or less? Well if everything's flying apart do you get to the point where everything's cold and dark and dead and all the possibilities die again? Because if you do maybe you don't need to get all the way back to a singularity. Maybe just all the possibilities are exhausted. And when you get back to a situation where all the possibilities are exhausted again maybe it just starts over. It's always darkest before the dawn.
So one model of reality is that there are a whole bunch of looped realities. So there's no beginnings and no ends. Each of these loops is created by a higher level loop which does imply there's one original species. But I'm not sure it has to because could it be that the original species is also looped? Could it be that there is nothing to anything except the odds expanding and contracting? Could it be that the heartbeat of reality is nothing but a multi-trillion-year heartbeat in which we start with nothing is possible, it expands to everything is possible and then here's the magic part. The moment everything is possible nothing can happen. Would that do to your brain? The moment everything is equally possible nothing can happen. And that's the singularity again.
So there should be a natural heartbeat to the odds of anything happening. From zero all the way to everything and then instantly back to zero and then back to everything. Now how it gets out of the nothing is possible would have to be God right? So in this model God is the odds. God is the possibility that you could go from nothing is possible to everything is possible. So God could be the smallest change. The smallest change in this stable singularity and it just blew the whole thing up for trillions of years.
Now if you looked at it on the smallest scale you would say if that's all God is it's just like one little god particle or it's a muon or some damn thing we haven't discovered yet. And all it did was tweak. It just went from no possibility to boop it just moved and the whole thing blew up. If that's what happened then God would be both the smallest thing in the universe in terms of the smallest initial action and also the biggest. It would be everything and everywhere all the time. This thing called God under that model.
Now this allows your traditional God and all its beliefs because you might be on a loop where your religion is exactly correct for all you know. But other people could be on other loops. So I believe this answers all of your questions.
And let's see if I've lost anything else. Oh it's also the only theory that predicts that the universe will keep expanding. Traditional science h

as to throw in, correct me if I'm wrong about that, but doesn't traditional science have to throw in dark energy to get the expansion? So basically you have to make believe there's an invisible thing or else the math doesn't work. Dark energy yeah. Dark energy I'm sorry not dark matter. I've solved the meaning of life that is correct. And so would you also like to know what a soul is? Let me tell…
