Just as I find contemplating a "start" hard to accept an end is more difficult. Consider the implication of a big crunch.. the most distant photon is is wizzing thru space (almost reached "the fence between nothing and space"
) when the message arrives, big crunch time..does the photon slow to a walking pace, stop and finally start a return to the object it came from?? I doubt it personally and that would be an easy solution
. Where are the sides in the big crunch? Does the fence between nothing and space remain in place or does nothing gather around whilst the Universe colapses to the size of a "mustard seed"
. When you analyse nothing and its importance and necessity for some of these propositions to get up I think you may manage any suggestion as to what will go on inside the Universe but when it has become but a seed what will we call the stuff around it, can logic allow it to exsist even in speculation?
Time works one of two ways usually against us and usually it wins.
