If your lifespan was an hour, every generation that witnessed a sunrise or sunset would freak the fuck out and think the world was ending.

I’ve always thought of entropy like that, it seems one direction, but only because we’re on a comparativly tiny timescale.

Used to subscribe to the “big crunch” theory that it’ll just all start over. But the more Penrose and Hawking I read, the more I think the Big Bang just isn’t that unique.

There’s a lot of signs that the vast majority of existence is dark matter, and with how it interacts with regular matter, I don’t think we have sequential big bangs like a single light slowly flashing. I think it’s more like fireworks in the sky.

There’s probably not anyway to travel through the dark matter to get to another “bubble”, and even if we did, that bubbles laws of physics could be drastically incompatible with us.

Like, if you remember the Narnia books it’s like that “main world” where it was just an infinite number of ponds and jumping into one shoots you out to some world world everything works better. I think The Magicians kind of ripped off the idea, and by now more people may be familiar with that then one of the least popular (but underrated) books in a children’s series from ww2.

Entropy is functionally persistent, but only because everything we can see and interact isnt all there is. There could be multiple other bubbles of matter happening right now, it’s just about what frame of reference we have.
