The cycle of birth and rebirth

It is commonly accepted the universe began with a ‘big bang’.

The interesting question is ‘what was before the big bang?’ with the ancillary question ‘where did the singularity come from?’ In this note I address both questions based on largely accepted propositions in science, with the addition of several speculative propositions.

The second law of thermodynamics gives us entropy and the tendency of entropy in closed systems to increase. Entropy is associated with randomness, but more recently described as the tendency of closed systems to seek the lowest energy levels available.

Proposition 1: A closed system moves to the highest level of entropy that is the lowest level of energy available to it.

Proposition 2:The highest levels of entropy in the universe are found in black holes.

The bottom of black holes are the lowest temperatures in the universe with minimal to zero vibration. Approaching the bottom of a black hole from a 'random' point of view, then it is random in the sense of a crushed motor vehicle is random, none of the functioning parts are in appropriate relationship,and the details of the crushing are not predictable, with the parts ending up in random relationship. What can be said to be fully crushed in a motor vehicle is its functionality, that is no part of the vehicle is in an operational relationship with any other part. The same can be said of all that falls into a black hole.

Proposition 3 is that the universe is a closed system.

Therefore energy and matter in the universe will tend toward the bottom of black holes.

Now speculative propositions 4: Space-time depends on matter for support, and in the absence of matter space-time collapses: 5, that a singularity is formed only when space-time collapses in on matter in a black hole: 6, Matter-space-time singularities are unstable and explode at the moment of formation.

At the moment the last support for space-time ceases, the last piece of matter falls into the black hole taking space-time with it, so is formed a singularity which explodes and the cycle is renewed.

Evolution guides everything between consecutive singularities.
