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.

Yet we are still making all the same mistakes.
