Attaining Buddhahood in this very body = Enlightenment = Thanks to being able to have a god inhabit me, I have come to understand various things. I believe I have previously talked about the edges of the universe and other topics. Recently, I have come to understand them in even greater detail, so I will share them now.
First, regarding the current universe, approximately 1×10^10 (10 billion) years have passed since the Big Bang. It continues to expand and will keep expanding over even more time. At some point, the expansion will stop, and the universe will start contracting. Due to gravity, matter will gather into black holes. Furthermore, black holes will merge to form supermassive black holes. Light (photons) and space (gravitons of space) will also be swallowed by these supermassive black holes. Additionally, the photons and space particles that are swallowed will break down into gravitons, becoming part of the supermassive black holes, which will grow even larger.
The contraction happens very slowly over a long period. Eventually, everything will condense into a single point consisting only of gravitons. One American physicist once said that because the universe is mostly empty, if you gathered all the matter into one object, it would be the size of a basketball. Close, but it will actually become an even smaller point, due to gravity contracting everything to its extreme limit.
Once it becomes a point, the matter made up entirely of gravitons will try to break down into even smaller constituents. Since it was condensed by gravity, once the gravitational influence weakens, it can no longer hold together, and it suddenly expands explosively. That is the Big Bang. From there, gravitons develop into dark matter, photons, electrons, quarks, protons, and neutrons, eventually forming stars and other celestial bodies.
This process of expansion and contraction then repeats, leading back to a single point. When it condenses to a point again, the Big Bang repeats in the same way.
Ultimately, this cycle of Big Bangs has occurred many times before. If the same cycle is repeated numerous times, there can be patterns very similar to our current history, such as humans being born and repeating wars and periods of peace.
Although this cycle of Big Bangs may seem like it would continue forever, there is nothing eternal in this world. Eventually, it will stop.
I will provide more details on this in the next installments.
