Its both

Its the start of this universe until it eventually collapses and starts over again

a cycle

Think of the universe as an ecosystem

It couldn't be that

plants die, planets die, stars die, the universe will too

?

Yikes

And then it will restart

It assumes too much

another one, or two, or 60, will be born

Not really, its more of we dont fully understand then assuming

^^^^

It is assuming though

No its a theory

Uh huh

Anyways

Assuming is me assuming you have a brain

whats wrong with assuming. believing in god requires many assumptions

If you believe in the big bang you could say that the universe was reset before maybe even millions of times before

thats what we mean by cycle

Yes cause its continuous

What started the cycle?

Atoms? Where did they come from?

Nothing

Nothing?

Its always been a cycle

<:cool3:625748951458512916> We got a winner here

Mater cant me destroyed or made

just like "god" has always been, its the same @floridaswamptrash

You aren't even talking about the big bang at this point

What

Then again

We are

please dont get picky with semantics

But not the common version most people know of

wdym

Wtf is going on

There are different versions of it like it being a cycle or that it is the origin of the universe as a whole or the expansion of an already existing smaller universe etc etc

Im so lost

Thats what string theory is for kinda, because we dont know yet
