As a thought experiment this would make me think that : postulate:
The universe must be constrained at least when going to the small. And if it is constrained when going to the small it has to be confined when going to the big as well.
Now one brave soul to proof that.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoMy guess is it’s not really constrained at either end, there actually is no such thing as big or small, the universe is scale-free and everything is relative. Roger Penrose has suggested as the universe spreads out and you get a very large, boring, empty universe it will eventually become equivalent mathematically to a very small, dense universe and another “Big Bang” will occur, not because the universe got small but because the big started looking the same as the small. Or something.
