An Advanced Civilization Could Resist the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe
- godelmachine 8y agoDefinitely something Nick Bostrom would love delving deeper into.
- nabla9 8y agoHeh. Slightly more sufficiently advanced civilization might encode information of themselves and their civilization into hawking points that are patterns left after even the biggest black holes have evaporated and the universe is timelike. We could see evidence of those civilizations in the CMB Sky.
- godelmachine 8y agoLooks like much of what you are saying comes directly from this - https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01740 https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01740
- nabla9 8y agoPretty much. Conformal cyclic cosmology predicts that you could see the left over ripples from the last universe in the CMB Sky.
- godelmachine 8y agoDoes “last universe” also loosely translate to “past birth”?
- godelmachine 8y agoWould you please point me to some books and research papers which pontificate more on this topic, maybe even be understandable to a layman like me? The latter part is purely expendable.

- godelmachine 8y agoWow, the above link leads me to this - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_panspermia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_panspermia Now, I am no metaphysics or quantum mechanics scientist, but does Information Panspermia elucidate on the Buddhist concept of rebirth and paying for one’s sins from the previous incarnation?
