Does the universe just repeat?

[StyledNebula]

If atoms can only form in an impossibly huge but limited amount of ways would the universe just repeat itself after a while?

[Duck Twacy]

Possibly. According to Roger Penrose the "big bang" is or was one of an infinite number of previous "big bangs".

As we learn more about Dark Energy, it is plausible, that eternal recurrence or The Great Bounce, is in effect. That the universe expands and contracts naturally on its own.

But surely the same can't be said for matter and antimatter? Aren't these limited and will run out as the universe eventually uses up all the available Hydrogen?

Atoms aren't quite the same as particles popping in and out of existence, and I don't see elements just appearing out of nowhere. Unless we've yet to observe a White Hole. More data is needed and I fear humans are too limited to grasp the scale and scope of the cosmos...

i think it doesnt even go anywhere it just light travels in a simulation of sorts where you can go back and forward in a movie of sorts , its that our civ is mostly incapable in reproducing at least openly about it.

Don't worry, eventually the DLC will come out for it.

Unknown at this point.
Maybe Universe is created by the observers.

Any leaks for the content?

You should look up the mathematical function known as Tree.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/313134/why-is-tree3-so-big-explanation-for-beginners

You can grant incredible complexity with very simple basics is the upshot.

The universe is not a fractal like function. Nor is it Tree like, its somewhere in between, from what we know, but it could be potentially tree like if what we don't know and understand about the nature of the universe is more open rather than closed.

Purposely left ambiguous. ;)

Geeez... another question there's not an answer to, but OP decided to ask anyway...
Look whatever case it is, we'll never meet our copies anyway and can only feel bad about their possible existence.

In a sense the material universe is constantly being recreated in a flux state.

This is how time is manifested, a laying of "now".

[Grendalcat]

It might expand until it stops, than contract to a point, "explode" again, rinse and repeat.

we dont know, you believe in big crunch ?

[Xero_Daxter]

Reminds me of an episode of Futurama where they kept moving forward in time. After all of the stars receded and died out there was another big bang starting the cycle all over again.

But hey… it’s just a cartoon.

Theoretically infinite spacetime means infinite repetition of everything.

But even if it does repeat, that doesn't necessarily mean things will happen "multiple times." We could be simultaneously living every one of the infinite repetitions of this current outcome right now, without knowing the difference.

The source energy from Quantum Space, the Proton, is beyond the Material Space relativity placement.

Basically as energy began to drop into Material Space levels it created all kinds of matter.
Once it comes in balance to E=MCsquared then it locks into relative motion and the laws of physics based off of E=MCsquared. So some matter just came into relative being and others ended up in massive atoms that could not become stable in the physical laws created by the stable flux so they exploded.. The Big Bang as the physical universe came into stable existence to the flux of E=MCsquared. Gravity drops off with the square of the distance but always remains. All matter in Material Space is linked by gravity in Material Space and through the quantum singularity gateway inside the Nucleus.
