The big crunch.

It's a phenomenon Einstein believed would happen to the universe after millions of years.

As of date, it is proven that the universe begins with the big bang and have been expanding through time ever since.

It's like a deflated balloon with points drawn on it. As it is inflated, the balloon stretched with the points getting further apart. The points are like galaxies and stars getting further apart through time.

Ok. Most cosmologists believe that the universe will expand infinitely but Einstein believed in the big crunch. It simply means a reversal procedure in which the universe will contract till it gets back to its original form and with the amount of pressure gathered...

another big bang will occur.

Enough of the facts.

Anyway, what's amazing is how he believed that stars that were dead will revive. I wonder how about life on Earth. I supposed humans don't revive?

Just makes you feel so tiny in this place. I mean.. we are just transient beings passing through a point of time in the universe. And the "point of time" will be so small, it's probably microbian. Or worse.

Whatever.

Anyway, sometimes is scary to think that one will just fades away after a microbial moment.

It's like a .. erm.. a race?

You have to run. You can't stop. And you know as you run, you are getting closer to the finishing line. But what's beyond there when you can't run any longer?

Guess everyone will find out for themselves.
