Hi Programmer & All,

Must confess I don't know a huge amount (read: almost zero) about "Loop Quantum Gravity" but so many of these bouncing universe theories concocted over the years have run aground on one of the most basic principles of physics: The second law of thermodynamics and more specifically the problem of entropy.

I wonder if this new model has taken this simple yet often disregarded law of physics into account? Hmmm ...


Best,

Les D

Hi All
Perhaps the laws of physics are different in each cycle and that life appears only in the cycles that permit life to arise.;)

Theorectically that would mean that we have all been here before. :whistle:

Yet we are still making all the same mistakes. :doh:
